A cold, still morning at Toko Mouth with the temperature sitting at 3.4°C and humidity at 88%, giving the air that damp winter bite South Otago does so well. With no wind to speak of, the wind chill matches the actual temperature, and the high pressure sitting at 1032.1 hPa keeps everything calm, quiet, and stubbornly grey. Dew point is a chilly 1.6°C, and the sun is barely making an appearance, offering a token 0.5 W/m² of solar radiation and a UV index of 0.0 — the kind of morning where even solar panels want to stay in bed.
Rain gauges remain at 0.0 mm for the day, though the month has collected 10.6 mm so far. With evapotranspiration still showing nothing and the atmosphere doing very little, it’s a classic slow winter start: cold, damp, and perfect for hot drinks, indoor jobs, and checking the weather from somewhere warm
