According to MetService, the southwest tip of Stewart Island is warmer now (or 40 minutes ago) than Cape Reinga. In fact at 9 degrees, South West cape is the warmest place in the country, except for Hick's Bay (which is somehow on 14).
Dunedin right now is 7 degrees and warming. Such a nice change after the icy daylight hours.
Auckland is only 6.
This is a rare winter moment.

only 2 to 3 oC in the auckland area this morning with a light southerly blowing ...... ...but a sunny day is in store
actauly, the 2.5oC we got this morning here is the coldest I have recorded here in the 2 years at this new location (ridge top)....in frosts we were not this cold....
we still had a 5 to 10 knot S with that 2.5oC, i.e that was the temperature of the actual polar air mass moving through this morning!
if there was any shower activity, there could have been sleet here!
