Few untruths in this here:

You the fans, have told us this would be a great asset and now we’re in the position to make it happen. (Only MetService currently have the rain radar on their website.) We would be the second only app/weather provider to have this fantastic new addition

Metvuw have been using radar data for as long as I can remember!

I doubt that cwu would get live rain radar images onto their website as metservice would charge a lot for that.

Fog has finally cleared here. Up to a whopping 5.0C now.

Poor sun for Kelburn but worse 3 times in the period 2010-2017. Ch'ch 64.2 hrs to 28th.

A cooler wet June here. Stats from Howick weather station:

Mean temp = 10.8C (overall the 2nd coolest June in my records spanning the last 9 years)
Avg daily max = 14.8C (lowest for any June in my records)
Avg daily min = 7.2C (2nd lowest)
Highest temp = 18.6C (16th)
Lowest temp = 1.1C (27th and 30th)
Total precip = 235.8mm (wettest June in my records)

June was not a good month in my book as we had 8 days where the temperature did not get above 13C
(airport data).
