June's Weather right on Average
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.

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?
If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.
We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
