15 and sunny but coolish wind- not unpleasant actually
David was talking about a dry October for Aucklanders so that prompted me to check the met Service figures for New Plymouth that the paper publishes each day:
Rainfall:
October MTD 132.4mm (+20mm above average)
YTD: 1092.6mm (117mm below average)

Sunshine: continues to be a very sunny year, even more than last:
October MTD: 172.4hrs (+13 hrs)
YTD: 2059.8 hrs (+360hrs)

This year (and last) one came to expect Sunshine not matter what

From Stuff.co.nz 1 Nov 2013

Hail has pelted parts of the country, as the MetService warns of damaging 20mm-plus hailstones in Canterbury. Residents have reported hailstones in Canterbury, while Wellington suburbs, including Johnsonville, Kilbirnie, Ngaio and Khandallah, have also been lashed. 

The MetService said wind convergence combined with afternoon heating should produce scattered heavy showers with hail about eastern areas from Wairarapa to Canterbury.

Thunderstorms were also expected, with some being severe in Canterbury, accompanied by the huge hailstorms.
