Today's high in Omarama was 33.3° at 17:25...it's 33° right now, and hardly breath of wind all day until a little while ago. The glider guys are a bit stuffed.

TV 3 just gave Alexandra as 36... I believe that as I lived in Queenstown for several years...

It gets blardy cold in both places, but summer does get a tad warm... 8)

Iam enjoying this warm weather blue dome skies and a light NE wind.
Not bad considering the forecast looked like having bits of low cloud for today although that will possibly return this evening by about 7pm.
Not bad for 27C out there at the moment 8) id say it will be into the thirties again over central otago today.
Cheers
Jason.

30.2° in Omarama, with some drifting patches of high cirrus taking the edge off...hopefully it won't be as hot as the last few days have been.

Today's high in Omarama 31.9° at 18:04, and 23% RH. The high cloud which was around earlier this afternoon certainly took the edge off.

BBQ weather for sure!

Dang it! Does anybody else have probs with intermittent display of forum pics? I rarely get them displayed in my browser. Graeme would you mind emailing me that image directly?

A ditto day on yesterday although the sea-fog/mist which rolled in off the sea from around 5:10pm was a bit more thicker.
Warm again out at West Melton(29.3) but only 23C here in Somerfield.
Nice under the trees with a developing NE breeze. :)
Summer is here alright and I predicting warmer temperature to come, sadly, if this weather pattern continues.

I think the first week of February was 'traditionally' the hottest part of the year, up north at least (Auckland, etc)...I'm hoping it's not going to be the case again down here...since I've lived here, the peak has always been early January down this way (except this year)...I don't think I could stand it any hotter than this week! :shock:

Overall in the NZ record there is a small plus for Feb. over Jan. with mean temperature - the biggest difference being in more northern and western maritime areas, but parts of the east and SI hinterland have January with the highest average. But the differences are fairly small anyway. I would also guess the first week of Feb. as the hottest for the country overall on average, but have never seen summaries at the week level, only monthly or longer.

Walking on the Harry Ells track on Port Hills this afternoon. Very hazy to the west and very warm as most of the track is sheltered from the NE breeze.
29.4 recorded at my station at 1:20pm before the NE breeze arrived.

Photo below of the hazy view to the west.

Hey Andy, what kind of RH are you reading down there? We got down to 11% in Omarama today, a new record for me.
