100% humidity and 17C leaving town at 6:30 this morning, an epic inversion-like fog was visible inland from the tunnel and it was very dim heading out of town. Now hot and again humid in Amberley, clear skies.

It's oppressively humid here at Tongaporutu (Taranaki) with no wind and rain setting in now. It's so muggy I'm sure even Prince Andrew would be sweating.

Woah,crazy dew points around NZ! And I thought our 30+ degree / 22 degree dew point in Melbourne the other week was bad. Crazy summer for us all in regard to humidity. I've never seen it as high as it is in Christchurch

Currently on 24. That’s the lowest is been for over night. Most of the night it was more like 25. So this has just smashed me previous highest low by about 2 degrees. This heat is unprecedented.
