Re: General March Weather
The airport similar on 6.6mm last 30 days, no rain for 3 weeks. Moist air/precipitation later in the week over the far north, possibly into Auckland?

Re: General March Weather
Made first venture up that way since last winter yesterday. I see what you are talking about. The fields by the motorway at Ramarama were bone dry.David wrote:We are down to 6mm in the last 30 days. Have noticed cracks opening up in the ground again in the last week.

Re: General March Weather
Hello from the other side of the Tasman!!
I work in Melbourne and have an apartment near the city but I recently bought in Ballarat which is where I spend my weekends (which are presently Thursdays and Fridays)!
Still summer here. The merest hint of leaves changing colour in Ballarat which is 3 degrees cooler and is more similar to Hamilton in respect to annual temps. Yesterday was an unpleasantly humid day in Melbourne with a high of 29.8 which ended with a few showers at night. The riverfront was packed with bogans who, judging by their shape, were mostly COVID magnets! Kind of day which just wanted to make you feel angry.
A trivia question for everyone: Does anyone know the historical latest hot day (25-plus) on record for each of the major cities in NZ: Auckland, Tauranga, Hamilton, Wellington, Chch, Dunedin, Invercargill?

Re: General March Weather
Ruakura (Hamilton) is on 74 for this warm season so far, did see 91 in 2012/13 which was likely highest in all available records since 1940.

Re: General March Weather
I’ve set two records in two days by the looks. 29.3 yesterday and 29.4 today. Not sure what my previous highest March temp was but for some reason I thought it was over 30.

Picked up a very welcome 5mm earlier this morning! Doesn’t sound like much but it’s more than we’ve had the last 30 days
