On 27 July 1939 Auckland received its only recorded snowfall.The early morning calm on the isthmus during settled weather, before the sea breeze rises, was described as early as 1853: "In all seasons, the beauty of the day is in the early morning. At that time, generally, a solemn stillness holds, and a perfect calm prevails..."

There are also regular breaches of guideline levels of carbon monoxide.
