Tēnā koe Chris,
Partial transfer of Official Information Act request regarding Sunshine Hours.
I refer to your request for information under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) dated
1 August for information.
We have transferred part of your request to NIWA. Part of the information to which your
request relates, namely—your request for sunshine hours over a 33-year period by
month and region, highlighting anomaly months and areas, is not held by us but is
believed to be held by NIWA. In these circumstances, we are required by section 14 of the
Official Information Act to transfer your request.
You will hear further from NIWA concerning that part of your request.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this
decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
