Brian is there a way of seeing what the record above normal for any month is in weather display?

MetService November 2021 Summary - One for the record books

Day to day the weather maps didn’t change much at the start of November, with high pressure centred across much of the country, and a low skirting around its northern flank. This low came to a halt near East Cape driving flooding rain onto eastern North Island prompting a state of emergency declaration. Gisborne Airport recorded its wettest November on record by far with 288mm of rain, 214mm of this falling in just 72 hours to the 5th.

Northwesterly winds then brought a prolonged spell of windy weather for South Island, and the lower North Island, pushing the mercury to near heatwave levels for eastern North Island mid-month. Humidity became the weather word of the week late in the month, especially for North Island, but it was warm almost everywhere. Monthly temperature records tumbled across North Island as Whangārei (18.6C), Auckland (18.2C), Hamilton (17.1C), Tauranga (18.4C), and Taupō (15.3C) all recorded their warmest November’s on record. Westport and Hokitika came close to breaking records but took a silver medal.

The final weekend of the month was a wet one for the West Coast with Westport recording its wettest November day on record with 97.2mm of rain in 24 hours.
