Extremely windy up here in the Waitakeres, and we're not getting the worst of it where we are.
While I'm only seeing gusts getting up towards 40 km/h, up the hill it would be double that for sure. The noise in the trees is scary, you hear it building and building. Time to go to the quieter end of the house and go to bed, doggy will be happy to retreat their with me.

Here's a new graph I've developed for my (coming soon) future weather site.
Weather for the last 30 days. No wonder the ground is sodden!
-
Yes, 30 day rainfall total here is 184 mm - but the ground isn't that sodden, yet.
I estimate we're around 200 mm behind average YTD total, still....

I've had a look through my data back to 2010, quite interesting - I did an approximate count and there are only around 30 days where we have had a windrun higher than 100 km.
Now, lets qualify things a bit, with our location and the level of shelter it has, normal 24 hr windrun is somewhere around 10 km to 20 km (and often below 10 km even) - to get a windrun of 50 km means it has been very windy, 100 km and above is exceptional.
So here's the windruns this week
6th; 3.9 km
7th; 58.9 km (system approaching)
8th; 186.7 km (just 0.2 km below previous record)
9th; 214.0 km (new record)
10th; 179.8 km
11th; 128.1 km (5 hours remaining)
So this is now the 4th day on the trot - and possibly another tomorrow too.
