Road closure - Iver Trask Place
Kia ora Kāpiti. Iver Trask Place near the Paraparaumu Council building will be fully closed for up to four days from Monday 15 May while the road surface is repaired following stormwater works. This means access to Iver Trask Place from Rimu Road will be closed.
Full access to Iver Trask Place, Paraparaumu Library, Novella Café, and the Council service centre will be available via Ngahina Street and Brett Ambler Way.
Thank you for your patience while we upgrade our infrastructure to reduce flooding and prepare our district to live with more water due to climate change. To find out more about this project, visit www.kapiticoast.govt.nz...

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.
