Pensions and payments

Carol from Raumati South

Another Tuesday and the age pension has gone kerching! into our accounts. It comes from the government of course, but it really comes from the people and the businesses of NZ. I buy whatever I can from the people contributing to my pension - NZ owned shops and businesses, the hard workers and the innovators - sending that cash back into the local economy. I feel good about that. Thanks and hang in there folks, better times are coming.

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.
