Yes, does sound odd, but other far E'ern sites like Eastern Beach and Botany Downs showed similar temps - probably much lighter winds / more sheltered.
1.2°C here at 7:30am this morn.
I see Grey Lynn got to 1.6°C (yesterday 3.3°C) and Whenuapai at least -1°C

Yes Richard but as you will know rangiora can be a very frosty place
and i find the winter min's to be about 2 deg colder than chch but on the other hand the highs in summer are about 2deg warmer, it tends to also get alot more NW winds blowing when chch or even kaiapoi doesnt- but bugger all storms is a down side

Btw, don't have Pakuranga yet, but yesterday morn it was down to 0.1°C
Edited Mangere error

It was just some light SSE breeze here in Grey Lynn between 2 and 6am that halted the rapid fall in temperature. Low here was 1.6°C so I imagine we would've easily reached 0 without that. Interesting to see the decent -ve temps there!
