KAPITI CARERS' UPDATED KOHA AND PHONE NUMBERS

Sue from Waikanae

Kapiti Carers are a wonderful group of Kapiti volunteers helping the vulnerable with transport to hospitals and doctor’s appointments in Wellington, Hutt Valley, Porirua and locally.

Donations/Koha keep this invaluable service going because, as you all know, the volunteers all use their own vehicles and are faced with ever-increasing fuel costs.

Recommended donation for Wellington & Hutt Valley $60, Kenepuru $40 and $20 for a local appointment, all including the return journey and waiting for you during your appointment!.

OCTOBER'S WEATHER IN KĀPITI

Murray from Paraparaumu

This third spring month in Kāpiti was milder and sunnier than average, and for three weeks we also seemed to be heading for a record dry one, but rain here and over most of the country on the last week changed that.

We ended up with 110mm of rain (airport), but this was only 12mm above the historic average for this month that is frequently our wettest. Despite the rain, we had the equivalent of 15.5 sunny days, slightly above average.

Our daily average maximum temperature was 17.8, almost 0.4C above average and 0.7C above last year, and our overall mean temperature was 14.2C, 1.3C above last year, and the warmest in central New Zealand.

November could average around 20C, as it often does, so we can look forward to the possibility of enjoying our first summer month.
