We had a warm dry autumn, the fifth warmest and fourth driest on record.
The mean maximum temperature was 21.8℃ 71.2℉.
The temperature reached at least 25℃ 77℉ on 24 days, with the hottest being 31.8℃ 89.2℉ in mid March.
However nights were cooler than average.
The highest total rainfall, though only half its historic average, was in the south, and the airport recorded 43.6mm which is less than a third of the historic average.
It was sad to see on the news the terrible storms and flooding in other parts of the world.
