Now have 2C forecast instead of 1C. Currently 19C so out of danger for sure. Have never had a damaging frost after reaching 16C or more the afternoon  before.  Weird mix of autumn colour and crownshafted palms in the mid latitudes.

How low did it go?
 

It’s been gloomy here the last couple of days with no sun. Great for overnight temps due to cloud cover but we only made 15.6C yesterday and 15.8C today. This is basically winter now. Even though we are under a high pressure zone it’s cloudy. I think the technical term is anti cyclonic gloom.

2.9C, no problem. It's been an unusual synoptic setup the last few days, been having a fake Southerly. Warm air has crossed the Tasman as a NW, been squeezed over the Southern alps then has hooked around an unusually shaped high to come back over North Island as a Southerly.  Been very pleasant, the benefits of a Southerly with very clear skies, without the cold.

Last week it finally rained 35 mm here, after a month of drought! Now pleasant fall weather for the following days.
