Those temp/humidity readings from the Hansen site here in Whangarei have to be wrong, way too high suggesting the temp/humidity sensor is located incorrectly, the 30 day trend on temp is way off, got to be in the sun, the rest of the site is pretty good with its info.
My station was in agreement with your official one and most of the other locals who supplied info, for both temp & humidity, I usually ignore the airport readings as it is several Kms from Whangarei, but lately with the very settled conditions, we have been seeing similar results at both airport and city.
It’s not easy with home stations to comply with the location criteria so I guess we have to do the best we can and go with what we see allowing for the errors generated by home conditions.
Most of us cannot install weather apparatus as per NIWA guidelines so we enjoy what we do have.
All good stuff really and great to see so many people interested.

Lots of nonsense readings among the good ones. Situation normal.

I’ve been following the recent forecasts in NZ from Barry in South Wales UK. It’s been 34 years since I spent a year there on a working holiday and the temperatures, at times were quite similar to the present, I almost feel homesick. The temperature here lastnight was minus 6 and this morning is not much higher.
