Cooler temperatures ahead this week

Cooler temperatures ahead this week

Weather

The unusually warm June so far - where Auckland's 19.9C was one of its highest June temperatures recorded - appears to be over.

Met Service says the cold front arriving today would be followed by cooler southerlies that would see temperatures plummet to more usual winter levels. This would see the overnight temperatures for Auckland just making double digits.

A ridge of high pressure making its way towards the country would mean clear skies with little wind.

WeatherWatch says the week will generally be dominated by westerlies in the lower two-thirds of the country and more high pressure and lighter winds in the north.

Electric Vehicle Chargers

Vector’s electric vehicle chargers continue to be well utilised, with the Hobson Street rapid chargers just edging out the new Silverdale rapid chargers. Vector has more rapid charger installations planned to ensure EV drivers can charge up easily across the Auckland region.

Weekly Rapid Charger Totals

Energy Consumed (MWh) 0.49 0.25 0.29
Durations of charge (average minutes) 28.35 17.76 15.8
