September Weather to-Date: Cool, Dry & Sunny
By mid-month Kāpiti and central NZ were still recording the slightly cooler temperatures as in August. The temperature only reached 15℃, with the longtime average for September being 16℃. It is possible, of course, for the difference to be made-up in the remaining two weeks should there be a weather change.
We also continue to experience August’s dry weather with only 23mm to-date, leaving nearly 50mm required to meet the longtime September average. I guess, If we had received all the forecast possible rain and thunderstorms that never arrived we wouldn’t be in this situation, however, it doesn’t look too good for the approaching summer with drought a possibility.
Sunshine hours are running slightly above average, and after months of unusually calm weather we have had some (equinoctial?) wind, typical for time of year.
Yesterday (Sept. 15) was our warmest day this season at 17℃, with today approaching 20℃!

Mute Swan. Note the interesting parallel, horizontal lines on the swan. I suspect they might be created by reflections from the ripples on the water surface. Please enlarge.
