Mangere's March sunshine total was 172 hours, or 93% of normal; similar to Oct's 94% and Nov's 95%. It was the summer months of Dec, Jan and Feb, with 63%, 77% and 85% respectively, that were most cloudy over the last six months.spwill wrote:...The Niwa Summary https://www.niwa.co.nz/sites/default/fi ... ch2012.pdf
No sunshine hrs for Auckland but my hunch is the Ak sunshine hrs were not far from average with the fine last week to the month.

Update to end of March must have been too late to get in the report, re Mangere readings.Nev wrote:Mangere's March sunshine total was 172 hours, or 93% of normal; similar to Oct's 94% and Nov's 95%.

237 hrs at Tekapo, 226 at Cromwell. I'm hoping NIWA's outlook doesn't imply a further continuation of the cloudy months for some of us - enough records have been broken already.
