Falls have been lighter around here, I see Grey Lynn with 4.4 mm yesterday.
any hints at more decent rain coming up? .the showers last few days was not enough. Hopefully we get a good winter storm season this year. 1 day of thunder heard here in February but that's about it.
I think drought might be "officallly" declared in auckland soon. has already been declared in surrounding regions.
almost as bad as 2020 drought.

Looking out a week there is very little showing for shower chances around here.
March is definitely the nicest time of year, last two days have been just perfect in temps and with light winds, max 22.4 and 25.8. Good while it lasted, change coming tomorrow.
Yes, settled weather mainly so far this March with some pleasant days with light winds and not so warm temperatures except for St Patrick's Day.
Low cloud/fog developed overnight but cleared for while this morning then the fog returned around noon for a while before lifting with thin high cloud moving in from the west during the afternoon. Light southerlies but calm this evening. 19C the maximum for today.
Fine at dawn but it clouded over during the morning and become a grey dome day with light southerly winds. Few spits of rain during the day but it come onto drizzly light rain this evening with 2mm falling to 10pm. 16.5C for today.
