Long-term atmospheric averages across a representative coordinate in coastal Canterbury
This climate profile presents twelve-month averages for Pōhatu Marine Reserve, derived from NASA POWER data covering the 1991 to 2020 period. Measurements include average daily temperature, precipitation rates, relative humidity, wind speed, and daylight hours at a single representative elevation of 44.83 meters. These statistics provide a longitudinal view of local climatology distinct from current weather conditions or short-term forecasts.
