After a good frost, possibly the best so far this winter, the NW cloud cover kept the temperature around 1C until the afternoon, when a bit of a NW warmed the temperature up slightly to today's maximum later this afternoon. 11.5C it got up to eventually.
Not much wind for today. Light NW this afternoon.

I'm currently at the NW end of Waiheke in front of Oneroa (in the summer months I'm inland of Palm Beach).
Note that a couple of PWS's just a few km further east around Onetangi recorded at least 45mm since last night.
