The national average temp of 10.3C was 1.9C above normal.
The month's highest temp of 22.2C was recorded at Waione on the 8th, and the lowest of -7.4C was recorded at Hanmer Forest on the 1st.
Only one climate station (Middlemarch) experienced a June mean temperature that was NOT either above average or well above average and dozens experienced record or near record warm temperatures.
Two different versions of the Kelburn mean - the 11.5C in the cities summary would be the correct one I think.
About time that they realised that EWS sun recorder replacements (often accompanied by improved site exposures) mean that citing well above or record high values in such cases doesn't mean all that much. And downright misleading in the case of Queenstown, where the Aero has considerably longer winter daylight than the manual town site.
edit: Looks as if the first value is for the airport, the 2nd for Kelburn.
Maybe NIWA's Chris Brandolino is a little geographically challenged, but then he is recently from the US.
It also says that Mangere's 13.6C was its 4th-highest June mean-temp. I can't find any higher than that and only 2 that equal it - 1971 and 2003. It even states in the main-centre section of the 2003 summary that 13.6C was its equal warmest, although it also says in that 2003 general mean-temp section that Mangere's temp was 13.5C and that records began in 1853, rather than 1959?
