Less than half average rain
August is likely to end with less than half its average monthly rain.
With only a millimetre or so recorded over the last fortnight, 30.5mm recorded in the first two weeks of the month, and fine weather predicted, rainfall is unlikely to reach even half the August average of 81.7mm.
Meanwhile, temperatures recorded by www.peninsulaweather.info during the month have ranged from an overnight low of 5.4 degrees on August 17 to a high of 26.9 on August 19, the highest in three months.
Highest daily minimum was 14.1 recorded on August 18 and lowest maximum was 15.8 on August 10.
Wind and air pressure in the last two weeks have not reached the extremes of earlier in the month, where pressures ranged between 998Hpa and 1025Hpa and wind gusted at up to 52.9km/h.
