Auckland's weather during lockdown has actually been a mixed bag, despite many feeling the sun has unfairly decided to show its face at the same time restrictions are in place.
First and foremost, the weather is not connected to lockdown in any way.
But the beautiful sunny days which marked the beginning of alert level 4 earlier this year didn't make the Covid-19 lockdown any easier for some people.
Metservice meteorologist Tom Adams said those days were the tail end of a fine summer.
"There was some really nice weather across the country during level 4, which people definitely remember quite vividly, especially at the start of that period, but there was actually some pretty bad weather towards the end which tends to drop from people's memory."
