This was brought about by particularly strong southerly winds, with relatively little rain, but followed a particularly summery April so was a bit of a shock. However, by the second week a warm front had arrived with it reaching a summery 20C, bringing some useful rain amounting to 23mm. This last week was mild, sunny and dry despite negative forecasts. Rain about now would be good, but it doesn’t seem likely, although our neighbours over the ranges will almost certainly get some.
For the month to-date the overall temperatures are running slightly above average and rainfall well below average, with sunshine about normal.
Photo: When this was taken on the evening of May 3 the southerly had eased.
As new, worn once Black Hush Puppies leather boots. Very comfortable but sizing is wrong. Great price as they cost 159.99 . Can pick up central Paraparaumu.

But there is another more adventurous side to grandmother-of-six Judy, who admits she is something of an adrenalin junkie with a secret ambition to complete every bungee jump in New Zealand!
In March, Judy and her husband Howard were on a trip to Queenstown when Judy decided she wanted to do the 43m bungee jump from Kawerau Bridge.
