Ken Ring: Auckland weather diary, August 2020 – weather by the moon August is expected to be slightly drier, cloudier and warmer than average. Most of the rain comes in the second half. The second week is the driest, and the fourth week is the wettest. The second weekend of the month will have the driest weather. Although the second week will have the coolest nights, daytime temperatures will not vary much from week to week. Atmospheric pressures should average about 1014mbs. Southwesterlies about ten days will predominate. For fishermen, the highest kingtide may be around 20th. The best fishing bite-times in the east are at dusk on 3rd-5th and 18th-20th (and in the west around noon on those days). Chances are also good in the east for noon of 10th-13th, and 25th-27th (and in the west around dusk on those days). For gardeners, the 20th-28th are the best sowing days (waxing moon ascending). The best pruning days are 5th-15th (waning moon descending). For longer shelf-life for crops, harvest at neap tide days, 13th and 28th. Allow 24 hour error for all forecasting.

@ Ponsonby Community Centre Ponsonby Community Centre is a unique building and organisation. We love the quirky naming of the rooms for hire, all named after famous Ponsonby personalities and institutions. One of the best, the Gluepot Room, is named for the much frequented pub and music venue, the Gluepot Tavern, which was sadly closed for good in the early 90’s. The Gluepot Room is set up as a meeting room and workshop space, with a whiteboard, projector screen and Apple Smart TV. It has a kitchenette attached with a zip and microwave. It’s the perfect spot for your next board meeting or seminar. We would love to host you! Sadly, we aren’t able to fully emulate the room’s namesake. There is no beer on tap, or space for a band, but we are nice and close to all the fabulous cafes and restaurants Ponsonby has to offer! PN Call us or email for more information and hire rates: info@ponsonbycommunity.org.nz or T: 09 378 1752.
