🌞If you thought it was hotter than normal last month, you’d be right with our gauges showing it was 1.6°C warmer than usual – and Brooklands Zoo had the top air temp of 25.3°C on 25 November!
🌧 Rainfall was about average (153mm or 2% less than usual across the region) and for the year, there has been exactly 100% of normal rainfall across all our rain gauges.
💨 The top wind gust didn’t even reach 100km/hr as well – it was 93.2km/hr at Uruti at Kaka Rd on 13 November.

Ready for the holidays? Ahead of the end-of-year festivities, we'd like to share this checklist with our community to consider necessary health needs.

This includes making sure you have your repeat prescriptions and supply of medication (if you're taking any), knowing your general practice's operating hours (and where you can get alternative medical support if needed), and being up to date with your health tests. You can find out the opening hours of your practice by visiting www.pinnacle.co.nz.

Share this list with your whānau so everyone is prepared.
