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.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
