What's your average so far Brian? Mine (using 1 minute averaging for the month) is 13.3°C
Another warm sunny day reached 21.2C here, fairly steady temps this afternoon (SSW was replaced by E-NE sea breeze at midday)

Looking at the hourly metars from the 3 Auckland airfileds, Ardmore got to 23C, Whenuapai 22C and Auckland Airport just 20C. Auckland airport catches the sea breeze being coastal.

A weak convergence line has developed just to the east of me producing some virga.

Of note, it looks very smoggy like, east over the Kaimais it seems. Has there been a fire over there?

You'll be able to see the smog like stuff in the background (by the tree line) in the attached pics...

Another convergence line developed today but this time to further to the west where some heat showers started forming.

There is a stable layer out there now which is why there some thicker higher leveled cumulus is out there as the congestus hit into it earlier in the afternoon.

But today held the right surface conditions for a storm just wished that the upper level conditions would be a bit more favorable. Some decent convection out west atm......
