It did feel cold this morning, not ready for the cold weather yet.

The Airport is showing 10.8mm rainfall for the last 4 weeks and the short term outlook is dry, need a tropical low to head our way otherwise around mid April is when the seasonal pattern change starts to happen.

Summer has been the worst season of the whole year,last spring was westerly mostly and November was better than the summer as a whole apart from last week,winter had some squalls but not a permanent one like most of the afternoons of late

The most horrible NE wind here today, not very summer like.
A run of hot and well above temps last week has brought the average for the month back to about normal but in general most days have been below normal by about 1C so if it not for 2 days with +7 and +6 above normal it would be another cool month.
Dry too again with 22mm recorded here in Rangiora as we missed most of the rain CHCH got.

Looks like we'll end up with 21mm here for Feb, 56mm year to date. At least that's more than last year :smile:

I see Greylynn has had 12.8mm for the month, 45.8mm year to date.

Light variable winds today helped generate cloud over the isthmus, a fine start and end to the day.

Looking like a cooler pattern on the way for NZ. Auckland's maximums over the weekend into next week will struggle to exceed 22C with dry southwesterlies.

I sure hope the Autumnal rains come soon, the drought index is getting very high. Everything is browning off.
Just under 500 now.....

Hi Bradley, I see a couple of days in the mid 20s but nothing above 30...yet. It changes pretty quickly in this sort of pattern I reckon :)
