Tokoroa 12:00  Midday

A brilliant sunny morning with mild O/N temps and a low of 7.8ºC raced to a High of 19.9ºC by 10:22am but the subsequent cloud cover has reduced the glow of the sun and the temperature.  Perhaps it will force its way through the cloud layer later on

Winds have turned from sou-easterly at 27km/hr gusting to 50km/hr at midnight now to 0-5km/hr northerly gusting to 10km/hr.  Quite cloudy now but very pleasant!  Time to get the lawnmower and chainsaw going...

A dying area of low pressure may spark a few rogue showers over parts of the North Island today. Otherwise, the country is looking at a settled Saturday.

Auckland, Gisborne, Hawkes Bay, Wairarapa and Wellington are all running the risk for a shower today. Best chance would be this morning. But even those chances are pretty small.
 
Most of the North Island can expect clouds to break apart as we go through the day. That September sunshine will add a bit of warmth, but it looks like highs today will be pretty close to what we saw yesterday.
 
On the South Island, expect a mix of sun and clouds for most areas. Invercargill will likely see an increase in the clouds late in the day with a chance for showers after sunset.
 
Highs today will range from the upper teens to lower 20’s. Highs tomorrow are expected to be just a touch warmer.

There is no 2:00 am tomorrow. After 1:59:59 am it becomes 3:00:00 am as we return to Daylight Saving Time.
 
Now, what makes this “Kiwi” Daylight Saving Time is not just the fact that Kiwis are making the switch. It’s also because Daylight Saving Time is truly Kiwi.
 
The idea for DST began right here.
 
George Hudson, an English astronomer, presented a paper to the Wellington Philosophical Society in 1895 proposing a two-hour daylight-saving shift. Besides being an astronomer, Hudson was also an entomologist. Hudson was hoping for some extra daylight after work so he could add to his insect collection.
 
Hudson’s proposal was not well received.
 
But in 1909, the Honourable Sir Thomas Kay Sidey began making an annual attempt at forwarding a Bill shifting the clocks ahead one hour starting September and running to the following March.
 
But in 1916 Germany, not New Zealand, became the first country to adopt Daylight Saving Time.
 
Back here in New Zealand, The Summer Time Act was eventually adopted in 1927, shifting clocks ahead one hour on the first Sunday in November and shifting them back the first Sunday in March. It proved very unpopular. In fact, the time change would be revised just one year later, revising the shift to a half-hour instead of an hour.
 
It would be revised again in 1933, 1941, 1945, 1974, 1975, 1988, 1990 and 2007.
 
Modern Daylight Saving Time begins on the last Sunday in September and ends on the first Sunday in April.
