NOVEMBER'S WEATHER
Kāpiti experienced its cloudiest November in a decade, with only five completely sunny days. However, rainfall was again well below average and temperatures only very slightly below average.
The average daily maximum temperature of 19.2 degrees, although normal, was below the 20 degrees required for November to qualify as a summer month, as it has in recent years; only Blenheim and Lower Hutt managed that in Central New Zealand this November.
Rainfall of around 45 mm was 60 percent of average, being the sixth consecutive month of average or below average rainfall.
Sunshine totalled the equivalent of 13 sunny days, the lowest in a decade, with the 10-year average being 17.5 days.
El Niño has arrived and is indicating this summer will be cooler than recent years, with November’s wind and cloud likely to continue, along with a lack of rain.

Landscape Builders
Hi Neighbors,
Just wanting to share a recent project we have completed for a really nice retired couple at Paraparaumu Beach. What made this project unique is that a lot of recycled materials were incorporated into the project, which kept in touch with the homeowners’ vision. We worked with them to create a tailor-made plan, and the results were amazing. We were grateful to be a part of this process.
Some highlights:
Custom bamboo planter box with inbuilt seats, creating a uniform structure with the deck. This is a lovely large structure which we are excited to see evolve as it gets planted out.
Custom garden shed built to meet the requirements of the high-wind/sea zone, but also clad with recycled palings. This was purposed as a planting and propagating shed, with polycarbonate roofing to allow natural light to enter.
Bamboo deck and stairs leading into another planting zone, Linking the back Area to the front.
We are qualified builders who love landscaping. We can offer decking, digger services, concrete, fencing, planters, and more. If you have a project we could help you with, please get in touch.
Thanks,
Joe
