November's Weather
November’s temperatures in Kāpiti were average, but it was less sunny than usual. Rainfall was 33 percent above average, but most of the total 100mm fell over the first two weeks, with very dry conditions over the second two. Despite numerous, almost daily forecasts for possible showers nothing worthwhile arrived.
Our daily average maximum temperature of 19.3C was exactly the month’s longtime average and the same as last year, with the warmest day occurring on the last day of the month reaching 25C. As usual, our neighbours in eastern areas of central New Zealand were around a half degree warmer than us, but their overall mean temperatures were also the coldest, with Kāpiti and Lower Hutt being the warmest places..
Although our 13 equivalent days of sunshine were up two days on last November that was also cloudy, it was two fewer than average.
December should see most days reaching 20C, with an average of around 21.5C, and with our now heading into three weeks without worthwhile rain the dry conditions can be expected to continue.
Visa Phone Scam Calls
Just had two of these scam calls about an hour apart: One was about $900.00 spent on Bitcoin. They got that out before I managed to put the receiver down. I had flour all over my hands, so I was a tad slow. Just a warning to let you know they seem active again around here. If you hear the word Visa, disconnect.
