👉 Here's a look at the March rainfall and temperature anomalies across New Zealand about halfway through the month. 🌵 Much of NZ has seen below normal to well below normal rainfall, but the western North Island and lower South Island are exceptions, where it has been much wetter. 🥶 With plenty of south-westerly winds so far, it's been a cool first half of March for much of NZ. These cooler than average temperatures are likely to continue over at least the next 7-10 days. >Seth | NIWA Weather
