Our daily average maximum temperature was 24.6C, recorded in Paraparaumu, but it was only very slightly cooler to the north, where there was noticeably more cloud. This was 1.3C degrees above average and the warmest February in 14 years, and compares with 22.6C in 2024. But, our overall mean temperature of 19.6C was the warmest in Central NZ.
January’s dry weather continued through February with only a few brief ‘showers’ in the third week amounting to 11 mm at the airport, similar in Otaki, but slightly more in Waikanae. This was the lowest rainfall for February in a decade. The historic average is around 60mm.
With it also being the sunniest February in at least 15 year, having the equivalent of 22.5 sunny days, February must rate as the almost perfect summer month ⎯ a pity most were in school or at work.
March, as usual, with a longtime average of almost 22C, will again likely qualify as an extra summer month in Kāpiti.

Comedy-legend Ginette McDonald returns to Wellington’s Circa Theatre in Blithe Spirit, opening March 19th!
Eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, is guest of honour at a dinner party hosted by socialite novelist, Charles Condomine. After too many martinis and a schemozzle of a séance, Charles gets more than he wished for when an unexpected guest materializes.
After 18 years leading Auckland Theatre Company, director Colin McColl teams up with comedy-legend Ginette McDonald and a cast of award-winning actors for this refreshing adaption of Coward’s classic comedy.
