Last chance tonight to actually drop below 0 in the month of July on my station. The Ruakura site has not either, after not doing so in June. Looking back it's not unknown for that site to not go below 0 in a winter month, but two in a row would be unusual.

Only reached +1.1, so based on the incoming pattern, no sub zero for July, will be a first for my station.

For the last 12 years on my station the monthly extreme minimum for July has ranged from -1.4C to +1.7C with a mean of +0.6C. Lowest this month is 3.8C and it does look like it won’t get close to that the rest of the month

still could get a late frost, late August or Early september if a cold snap and then a big high with light winds and clear skies
but..but the warmer than normal sea temperatures are moderating things a lot
at this rate we will be able to grow mangoes in Auckland soon
