BENEFIT ADVOCACY KAPITI -
Hi everyone
If you are struggling with your benefit entitlements and need help and support, or you are struggling and wondering what extra help might be out there, we have volunteers at the Cameo Rooms, 5 Mahara Place, Waikanae, every Monday from 1030am till 1230am waiting to talk to you -
Feel free to ring 022 387 4094, email benefitadvocacykapiti@gmail.com or just pop in for a cuppa on Mondays 😊😊😊
It would be wonderful if you could pass our details on, particularly to people who don't have access to the internet - their lives made even harder by government departments all having (sometimes impenetrable) websites, and the confusing world of RealMe, MyMSD, MyIR....
(There is also someone at Cameo on Monday mornings to help you with phone and computer problems, don't forget!)
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?
Do you think you know the answer?

February’s Weather
Along with most places in Central New Zealand, February 2026 in Kāpiti was its fourth summery month. It was sunny and dry although slightly cooler than usual.
Our daily average maximum temperature was 22.2℃, over a degree cooler than average, being the lowest in over 10 years. February 2025 was similarly cooler, as is this summer generally. As usual, eastern areas of Central NZ averaged a degree warmer, but our overall average mean temperature was again the warmest at 18.1℃.
Our equivalent of 18.25 sunny days was average for February. Rainfall of about 87mm was above the average of 60mm, but it mostly fell in two events separated by two long dry periods, with the second in the middle of the month associated with a strong wind storm that brought a much-needed 40mm.
As our March average temperature is 21.6℃ the chances of getting a fifth summery month are pretty high. Rainfall averages 50mm, but as we are getting more than the historic average these days, it’s likely we will exceed this.
