Ave Temp: 17.4°C
Min: 6.1°C on 28th
Max: 34.4°C on 20th

interestingly, we had exactly the same amount of rain in 2013 - 32.1mm.
Ave. min's were very similar, but Ave max's were 27.7°C last year.

Ventured over the Kaimais today for first time in a while. It was a shock to see green grass again, forgot what it looked like. I see why, from those figures.
