The official thermometers in Waikanae Park recorded 28.8 and the airport 27.8.
Over the last 10 years it seems temperatures above 29 degrees have only occurred three times previously; 30º in Feb 2022, 31º in Jan 2019 and 30º in Jan 2015.
The humid, thundery weather over the country has also brought heavy squally showers, particularly to inland areas, but fortunately Kapiti benefitted from a couple of these coming in from the north-west on Monday and Tuesday mornings, delivering around 18mm in total.
This is a lovely dress. L size - would fit a 12/14. Colours are a beautiful pink and green. Going to a wedding or special event? This would be ideal. Pick up in Waikanae.
Italian design and made outdoor chairs. Made from high end polypropylene and Fibreglass resin, UV and weather resistant. Excellent condition, like new.
Does anyone have any swan plants they can donate. My caterpillars are hungry and have run out ;(
This is surplus to my needs. Still in the box. Paid $179 for it. Great for making smoothies, mayo. Use to blend soup ingredients. Paid $179.99. Pick up Waikanae or can post at your expense.

I was unaware of any thunderstorm warning late yesterday afternoon, but did notice thundery-looking clouds over the eastern ranges, and we did have a few spots here. It was disappointing that no real rain developed, but not surprising, as rain from that quarter is pretty rare.

It's been over a month since we had any worthwhile rain so drought conditions are settling-in, particularly with increasing temperatures. On Wednesday, Jan 17 the maximum temperature in Kapiti was 27.4 degrees and yesterday 28 degrees, both recorded in central Paraparaumu. Also, over the last two nights the temperature did not drop below 20 degrees there.
Hi guys does anyone have a swan plant they can donate? Mine has soooo many caterpillars and they are chewing through it

Instead of running polls that ask if people want more rubbish collection, and encouraging people to put out more waste, why not have a competition to see who can get closest to zero waste over a couple of weeks. We could have a weigh-in and the winner could receive a garden voucher or similar. … View moreInstead of running polls that ask if people want more rubbish collection, and encouraging people to put out more waste, why not have a competition to see who can get closest to zero waste over a couple of weeks.

I see Neighbourly says Ōtaki has water restrictions. Not so – nor for Kāpiti, which has the benefit of water meters. Here in Ōtaki we are part of the Wellington region (coming within GWRC) but once again, we get lumped in with everyone else.
Husquavana whipper snipper 122 in excellent condition. Comes with some strong and a few extras.
