This morning’s live data tells the story before you even look out the window.
Outdoor temperature is sitting at just 3.4 °C, with humidity at 77% and a feels‑like of 1.7 °C. The dew point is just below zero at ‑0.2 °C, which explains that sharp, chilly edge in the air. A light northerly is blowing—wind speed 6.48 km/h, gusting to 7.20 km/h, with a day wind max of 15.48 km/h and a current direction of 359°, nudging just east to a 10‑minute average of 10°.
Solar energy is barely registering, with solar irradiance at 33.78 W/m² and a UV index of 0, confirming what the sky already suggests: it’s a low‑light, overcast kind of day rather than a bright winter’s morning.
Indoors, things are a little more forgiving. The indoor temperature is 10.6 °C with 57% humidity, and both absolute and relative pressure sit at 1033.7 hPa—a solid high‑pressure pattern overhead. That combination often brings settled but cold conditions, especially when the ground is already wet.
And wet it certainly is. The piezo rain data shows just how much moisture we’ve had:
Rain event: 33.4 mm
Rain 24 hours: 14.3 mm
Rain day: 4.7 mm
Rain week: 34.2 mm
Rain month: 40.3 mm
Rain year: 78.8 mm
Those numbers paint a picture of a persistently damp spell rather than a single dramatic downpour. The ground will be saturated, drains working hard, and any low‑lying areas feeling the cumulative effect of repeated showers.
Put together, today’s live data is a classic cold‑and‑soggy scenario: high pressure overhead, low temperatures, light winds, and a recently rain‑soaked landscape. It’s a good day for gumboots, layers, and maybe keeping the outdoor jobs short and sharp. For weather watchers, it’s another useful snapshot of how local conditions evolve—one more data point in the ongoing story of this season.
