Current Climate - October 2010
Overall, October 2010 was extremely sunny and very dry in most regions. More anticyclones (‘highs’) covered New Zealand than is typical for the time of year, resulting in a rather settled climate during the month. The exceptions were an extremely cold southerly event which affected the country on the 11th and 12th, and a subsequent wet period for the east coast of the North Island between the 13th and 15th.
