Mid January: Sunny, very Dry & Cool
The New Year cloud has mostly gone and the weather in Kāpiti is now sunny and very dry. And the weeks of temperature-reducing southerlies may be on the way out, with 24ºC yesterday.
Kāpiti has been the warmest place in central New Zealand and one of the few that can claim January to have been a summer month to date. However, Paraparaumu has averaged only 20.5ºC and Waikanae 20.2 (more like November). The longtime average is 23.1ºC.
After a little light rain over the first few days of the month there’s been no rain at all, so rainfall is well below average, and over the last week with sun virtually all day, every day, sunshine is now average for the month.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

60% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated

He describes himself as clean and tidy, friendly but a bit reserved and quiet.
I would add trustworthy and family orientated.
