A fairly dry October for most, apart from the south and west of the South Island. Also a relatively warm month in general, especially earlier on for most of the South Island. Sunshine slightly below normal for Auckland and Hamilton, but mostly sunny elsewhere...
Some preliminary October 2015 figures for the main centres:
A few notable Oct daily temps around the 7th included 32C in Kaikoura, 31C in Wairoa, 30C in Christchurch, and 29C in Dunedin and Timaru.
