Blenheim Set To Claim Sunniest Town in NZ

Blenheim Set To Claim Sunniest Town in NZ

The title of Sunniest Town in NZ is keenly contested and this year Blenheim is on track to regain the number 1 sunshine spot.

Rivals Whakatane and Nelson have most recently laid claim to the top position with Blenheim last wearing the crown in 2008. Traditionally, the contest was fought closely between Nelson and Blenheim who traded the title back and forth. Whakatane is a relative newcomer but since automated sunshine recorders were installed in 2010, the Bay of Plenty town had received the most hours every year, except 2011.
