Editing Upper Hutt (section)

===Climate===
Upper Hutt has a temperate climate however due to its sheltered valley location, it generally tends to be warmer than inner city [[Wellington]] in the summer and much colder in the winter. It is not uncommon in summer for temperatures to reach the high-20s Celsius (+/- 82&nbsp;°F), and in winter, the temperature to drop to as low as −5&nbsp;°C (about 23&nbsp;°F) with regular and often heavy [[frost]]. Snow generally doesn't fall below 300 m, but in 2011 Upper Hutt sea level snow occurred twice, as part of [[2011 New Zealand snowstorms]]. On 25 July and again between 14 and 16 August, which was the heaviest blizzard in Upper Hutt since 1976 and came as a great novelty to residents. Upper Hutt receives about 1400&nbsp;mm of rain per year. At 17.5&nbsp;°C on average, February is the warmest month, while July is the coldest at 8.5&nbsp;°C.<ref>[https://en.climate-data.org/oceania/new-zealand/wellington/upper-hutt-1780/ climate-data.org]</ref>
