Kāpiti Weather Mid July: Still Dry (17.07.24)
Going against recent trends for July getting slightly warmer, this month is recording temperatures over 1.3C below those of this time last year. Our daily average was 13.1, last year’s 14.4C. But there’s of course still two weeks left and it could still reach the longtime monthly average of 13.8C, although last year’s ended-up at 14.1C.
Several very light frosts have been officially recorded at the airport; last year there were none. However, I had ice of about 2mm thick on my birdbath on July 10, and there were tinges on neighbours’ roofs several times. Sunshine was around average.
However, it’s the shortfall in rain that continues to be a concern as winter progresses and we approach another summer with low soil moisture. If we had received even a small percentage of the rain predicted by our forecasters we would be in a good situation. So far this ‘wet week’ has produced 6mm! The 30mm was had on day one of the month seemed like a good start, but since then ―14 days later, there’s been barely a trace.
