A message from Wellington Region Emergency Management Office
A nationwide Emergency Mobile Alert system test will take place this Sunday between 6pm and 7pm. An alert will be broadcast to all capable phones.
The test will show you what an Emergency Mobile Alert looks like on your phone. It’s one of the many tools that may be used to communicate with you during an emergency such as a flood, earthquake, or tsunami.
If you get an alert, stop, read the message, and take it seriously. It will tell you what the emergency is, what to do, and where to go to for more information. If you feel your life is in danger, don't wait for an official warning – take immediate action.

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.
