Mid August Weather: spring’s in evidence

Murray from Paraparaumu

By the time ‘official spring’ arrives in a couple of weeks some of the early signs will have already passed, with the ‘heralds of spring’, daffodils and other narcissi, already blooming, along with early fruit-tree blossom.

Temperatures are running about a degree above this time last year, with an average of 13.5C, but the average for the month will likely be a degree above this. Sunshine has been the equivalent of eight sunny days

There’s been almost no rain this month, just traces amounting to around 5 mm. Following the 30mm on the last days of July, it was hoped the semi-drought condition of the last half year might be over, but it seems that was not so, although it’s still early days.
