Mid January: Sunny, very Dry & Cool

Murray from Paraparaumu

The New Year cloud has mostly gone and the weather in Kāpiti is now sunny and very dry. And the weeks of temperature-reducing southerlies may be on the way out, with 24ºC yesterday.

The New Year cloud has mostly gone and the weather in Kāpiti is now sunny and very dry. And the weeks of temperature-reducing southerlies may be on the way out, with 24ºC yesterday.

Kāpiti has been the warmest place in central New Zealand and one of the few that can claim January to have been a summer month to date. However, Paraparaumu has averaged only 20.5ºC and Waikanae 20.2 (more like November). The longtime average is 23.1ºC.

After a little light rain over the first few days of the month there’s been no rain at all, so rainfall is well below average, and over the last week with sun virtually all day, every day, sunshine is now average for the month.

What this will mean is you’ll see/hear a little less from Sam and a lot more from Joe - both in the office and on the tools, we will be offering more flexibility in our schedule, simplified rates, and are going back to the basics we built Stripped Electrical Ltd on as your household electrician servicing all electrical, appliance, and air-conditioning needs. We hope you’ll be excited to join us on this next chapter 🧡
