Two hours to get from Tawa to Lower Hutt (i.e. if this is your commute, donʼt bother!). #raumati #summer #Aotearoa #NZ
Trees and fences down all over Tawa. The main drag in Alicetown is just branches and leaves. Roads closed all over the place including Hutt CBD. #raumati #summer #Aotearoa #NZ
If you can avoid driving today, you should. Treacherous down Ngauranga Gorge. #summer #Aotearoa #raumati #Wellington #TeWhanganuiaTara
We lost power for about a minute here in Tawa earlier this evening. Everyone else OK in the storm? #summer #Aotearoa #NZ #raumati
Thermometer showing 30½ degrees.
In the shade. Finally warmth. #raumati #summer #Aotearoa #NZ #TeWhanganuiaTara #Wellington
Rainy view out of the office window.
I remember, in the before times, when there was a season known as #raumati, or, as the colonists called it, #summer. They are no more.

A mum and two small daughters are wearing jandals and under umbrellas as they walk towards the beach. Mum stops and uses the point of her umbrella to clear leaves and branches from a blocked gutter drain. An umbrella-less dad stands guard between his children and the street. 🫶
