February's Weather to Mid-month

Murray from Paraparaumu

The dry, sunny weather of recent months continues, but with an increase in temperatures.

Over the last couple of months summer's temperatures in Kāpiti had been up to a degree cooler than average, but recent weeks has seen a daily average of 23.3℃, normal for February. Thursday's (Feb. 12) 27.2℃ was the highest of the summer to-date

The longtime average rainfall for the month is around 60mm and we have had about half that, but this is insufficient to maintain soil moisture, so if the unsettled weather predicted for the next few days delivered 30-40mm it would be good.

The SW winds, with a 'watch' from Sunday evening (Feb 15), were already fairly strong by mid morning.
