The official thermometers in Waikanae Park recorded 28.8 and the airport 27.8.
Over the last 10 years it seems temperatures above 29 degrees have only occurred three times previously; 30º in Feb 2022, 31º in Jan 2019 and 30º in Jan 2015.
The humid, thundery weather over the country has also brought heavy squally showers, particularly to inland areas, but fortunately Kapiti benefitted from a couple of these coming in from the north-west on Monday and Tuesday mornings, delivering around 18mm in total.
This is a lovely dress. L size - would fit a 12/14. Colours are a beautiful pink and green. Going to a wedding or special event? This would be ideal. Pick up in Waikanae.
Italian design and made outdoor chairs. Made from high end polypropylene and Fibreglass resin, UV and weather resistant. Excellent condition, like new.
