November’s Weather: a Summery Month

Murray from Paraparaumu

Along with most places in Central New Zealand and other places, Kāpiti enjoyed summery weather during November, with temperatures more like those usually expected in December. It was also dry with above average sunshine.

Our daily average maximum temperature was 20.7℃. Only four times in the last 15 years has the November average exceeded 20 degrees, the last being in 2022. This temperature was around 1.5 degrees above the longtime average.

Rainfall of around 80mm was a little above average, but it mostly fell as two events, separated by up to two dry weeks.

Sunshine amounting to the equivalent of 18 days was above that usually experienced in December.

It seems the forecasted La Niña summer may have already arrived in November, so I guess we can expect December to be similar to what we had in November, with perhaps less wind and an average temperature of around 22 ℃.
