Look, you can love Wellington and enjoy living there without denying that the air moves at quite a velocity on a regular basis.
Next you'll be saying that the hilliness is overstated.
Personally, I found areas of Nelson more hilly. But the weather really hadn't been as bad as I was lead to believe. Auckland appears to have way worse weather
You are joking right? I trust you on the hills if you are a sheep but the weather? Really?
