Farm worker told me we had a 3 min hail shower here today. He said it was small hail but only hail and started to build up on the ground.

That heavy shower woke me up here in Kaukapakapa strong wind and very heavy rain.

Some very strong Westerly gusts here overnight, A mild 9 degrees currently.

I would not have thought it, but June is going to end up being normal for here for temperature
and rain total is down on average too

My average temp for June was 10.6°C, compared to 12.7°C in 2011 and 11.6°C in 2010. Only 72 mm of rain despite a similar number of rain days as previous Junes.

I recorded an average June temp of 3.8 degrees here, Don't know how that compares to the long term average temperature but this feels like the coldest June Ive had here.

Average maximum was 9.2c
average minimum was -1.5c

A cooler, drier and sunnier June for Auckland. I see Greylynn had 54.2mm, dry for Auckland.

[Tornado Tim]

Same here, cooler but drier. Average temp of 9.3°C and 103.4mm of Rain, compare that to last year: Avg Temp 11.3°C and 135.8mm of Rain.

I don't keep records but I got the impression we had milder than normal maximums and cooler than normal mins in Auckland which would equate to an average mean temperature.

[Skywatcher]

The mean temp I recorded here was 5.6°C which is about 1°C lower than my average for 10 years.

Mean max: 11.0°C (close to normal)
Mean min: 0.9°C (over 1°C lower)

Precipitation: 108.6mm recorded, 46.4mm on the 6th with about 30mm from snow.

Chch Aero's average June T-min was -0.2C ...(1.2C below normal).

I don't keep records but I got the impression we had milder than normal maximums and cooler than normal mins in Auckland which would equate to an average mean temperature.

Interestingly, Akld Aero's average T-max of 15.3C and T-min of 8.3C were both above its 1971-2000 June averages by 0.3C and 0.1C respectively (+0.1C and -0.1C for 1981-2010 averages).

However, Mangere's average T-max and T-min were both below normal (more so the latter), resulting in a T-mean of 11.2C, 0.5C below its 1971-2000 June average (0.6C below its 1981-2010 average).

Mangere has also only recorded about half its normal rainfall, while the airport recorded about 75%. Sunshine well above average though.
