Perfect weather, could hit around 33 in places like rolleston today.
Yesterday was also a stunner in christchurch, but felt hotter than what was recorded.

Same for the South, Dunedins had a couple of boomer days. 30deg recorded for the last two.

Yes very hot in Alexandra, 33.8 yesterday. A more pleasent 25 today at the moment!

[Ryan Thomas]

32.1 Summer has arrived! Actually doesn't feel that warm tho, perhaps I don't feel the heat as much anymore, or perhaps its because I'm not moving... Biking to work after 2 o clock will be fun..

I think it was Dunedin Aero that recorded 30.3°C yesterday and 30.6°C the day before. Musselburgh was a little cooler with 25.9°C and 27.3°C respectively. Guess it makes a pleasant change from a high of 10.1°C on the 20th though.

Yes certainly is still very warm out there
does anyone know if it reached 30C today? cooled down a wee bit now with a nice NE breeze coming in but still is sitting on 27C

Yes got to 32.2 degrees today. Been in Kaiteriteri since boxing day just arrived back. Everyday was hot with no wind at all. Whole way home blue skies and no cloud. I hope the weather for Saturday improves due to the one day game being here. Looks like very warm weather for wed, thurs and fri so hopefully sat is ok, it does only seem brief!

Just touched 30C today out here in West Melton.
A cooler southerly went through around 1:30pm but that didn't hinder the temperature much, only dropping slowly and increasing a little when the sun came out of the high cloud that was forming to the west.
However it was down to 17C at 10pm.

Yep beautiful summer day here in chch. Spent the morning chopping wood out by the airport then the afternoon cooling off at a friends batch at taylors mistake. Sea was a little chilly though!

Lets hope for another week's worth as there is a NZ champs at woodford glen on sat-sun

here are some photos of the storms yesterday here in the bay, not very exciting just a few rumbles of thunder as they moved south.

Once again hit 30 degrees according to metservice and 27 where i am with a nice northeast breeze keeping things bearable. Warm next few days too

Warm day in central Chch, but went out to New Brighton early afternoon and it was quite abit cooler out there, with a northeasterly sea-breeze. Seems like the cooling effect was confined to the coast, literally. Hopefully it stays warm in central city tonight,

A warm day for Auckland with fairly muggy weather, currently 25C with a 16C dewpoint.

Just exceeded 30deg today by a few tenths, compared with yesterday which was a few tenths off 30. Looks like similar temps in the next few days as well. NW all day, but winds strong to near gale for about half an hour late afternoon.

[Gary McConnochie]

A warm day here in Rolleston as well as a very dry one. 21% humidity!!

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Yes, Just over 27 degrees here with a freshening Northwester, if it was more NNW than WNW then temperatures would be well over 30 with the heat in that sun today. Still very warm and 21% humidity here as well so much the same! Tomorrow see Blue SKies forecasting 30 degrees and metservice 28. The cricket pitch at AMI will have plenty of sun in preperation for the match on saturday so should be a belter!! Unfortunately not the best weather forecast for Saturday but its looking a lot more promising than a couple of days ago. Just some morning showers clearing but only 17 degrees the high forecast!!! Why is it when national TV is going to be focused on the city that out weather is going to be chilly and not the best. I wish the game was tomorrow. The commentators better point out that its been around 30 degrees for 4 days straight (including the forecast tomorrow). Bet they wont though. I see that next week is looking very warm again! Man you have to love summer!!!

Umm ... hello? ... it's 2009 now folks!

Umm...

A warm start to the year

Yes

Nothing too serious. Perhaps a moderator could branch the posts off to a new Topic saying "A warm start to 2009"?

Tis quite a warm one in Randwich/Coogee.

[Nev]

Yes, not a big deal, although this thread will doubt be archived shortly...
