Last month we reported via CNN that New Zealand had been above average each month for half a year – now NIWA has released July’s stats and, you guessed it, July was New Zealand’s 7th month in a row that was warmer than usual.

Temperatures were above average in many parts of the country and sunshine hours were also well above average nationally.

It’s great to see NIWA producing more user-friendly summaries of public data – we definitely encourage more of this as it’s more inline with the international community:
