When the sun went down this evening there was not a cloud in the sky.  We have just had a short sharp shower of rain, but not enough to trip the rain metre on my Weather Station.  What strange weather we have!  Ahhhh, maybe it was Irish rain seeing as it St Patrick's Day?

Was another gorgeous day in the Western BOP today, partly cloudy with more blue sky than clouds and a max temp of  23.5 at 15:08, enough Sun to get a bit burnt trimming the path edges this afternoon.  Been a little more breezy today, Max Wind gust 32 at 23:03, just now?  Highest Wind Average (10 Min): 15 at 13:54.  But not at all cold.

It really was a lovely day here but this evening it has clouded up somewhat, a few small showers on the Kaimai Ranges and the Rain radar confirm that they are small and the wind is increasing from the east.  Maybe some rain tomorrow?
