It has been down for 28 hours or so. Very strange to be down so long. Great new site at Metservice though! ;)

27 degrees and a 19 dewpoint would give a decent heat index in Aucks,around 30.
27 down here would feel like a 23-24

hell its muggy here. Milking is no fun at all. In the last 31 days the largest rainfall we have had in one day is 8.2mm. the next highest is 6.2mm. Have had 7mm today but not nearly enough. All this moisture in the air is just playing games with people that need rain.
