June in Kāpiti saw a return to normal temperatures following an unusually cold May. It was also relatively dry, and sunnier than average. We continued to avoid the serious storms again affecting northern and eastern areas of the North Island.

Our daily average maximum temperature of 14.8C was exactly the same as the longtime average, but a degree below June 2023, which was unusually warm. Kāpiti-Horowhenua was again the warmest district in central New Zealand, with eastern areas and Wellington the coolest. Our overall mean temperature of 11.3C was also the highest. There were only a couple of very light frosts recorded.

Our equivalent of 17 sunny days, was three above average, and once again there was a rain shortfall with 70mm (airport) being 70 percent of average, however, a little more than June 2023 that only got 8mm.

Figures show July’s weather is usually fairly similar to June’s, and only a little cooler, but not cold enough to prevent the onset of spring usually evident in August.

I don't remember the number currently climbing each day but it amounted to many thousands causing predictable harm to the environment.

I took these two photos when I climbed the mountain in 1960.
