HEATING-UP

Murray from Paraparaumu

I was unaware of any thunderstorm warning late yesterday afternoon, but did notice thundery-looking clouds over the eastern ranges, and we did have a few spots here. It was disappointing that no real rain developed, but not surprising, as rain from that quarter is pretty rare.

It's been over a month since we had any worthwhile rain so drought conditions are settling-in, particularly with increasing temperatures. On Wednesday, Jan 17 the maximum temperature in Kapiti was 27.4 degrees and yesterday 28 degrees, both recorded in central Paraparaumu. Also, over the last two nights the temperature did not drop below 20 degrees there.
