MetService's TV max-temps (taken before 4pm) have Cheviot on 35C, Culverden and Hanmer Springs on 32C, Dunedin Aero on 31C and Alexandra on 30C.

26.9C here at 1:50pm.


Edit: Dunedin Aero since peaked at around 32C after 4pm.

[Richard]

Reached 34C here at about 2.00pm,Culverden wouldn't have had the NW like it was here which would explain the 2C difference

[NZ Thunderstorm Soc]

Where was the Cheviot reading taken, at an 'offical' site?

Yep - it was sent to us by MetService. Have NO idea why it's not included in their daily list John.

They must have a "third" list of max/mins ?

I'd imagine MetService only list 'minor' towns for TV if the readings are significant (be a long list otherwise). NIWA also have an EWS site about 4.5km WSW of the town-centre, close to a rail-line; not counting today, its highest temp so far this summer was 31.5C on Jan 30.

Yes, probably, now just thinking.
The EWS would be around the Mina area, ?

....and not forgetting the May thunderstorms. I think we should get some pre winter thunderstorms around this period, if not here but along the Southern Alps. Keep your fingers and arses crossed

Yes well heres hoping for some storm development before winter, can get the odd one at night with the changing of the air heading into winter..

[Richard]

The last time there was any decent thunder & lightening here was last winter with a NW

[melja]

I see chch the coldest on 8C but le bons bay the hotest on 23C, must be the over head NW that is making it down the back of the peninsula.

[Michael]

[Lukemyster]

[Andrew Massie]

The morning sun'll be on the receiver probably

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Up to 29.2 here now. Could be 2 consecutive days of 30 for the first time this summer i think.....could be wrong about that but it seems that way! Very light ENE

Update: 30.3 degrees here now with 25% Humidity. Still hardly any wind to speak of, expecting an afternoon NE to develop sometime soon which will probably push it back to 26/27 degrees.

[Richard]

Also 30C at 11.45 with a 10-15km NW,third day in a row over 30

[CHCH Weather Chaser]

Hit 32 degrees here now. Still light ENE. Lovely summers day, best of the year to date.

I see for February Greylynn has had a mean temperature of 21.1C and 10.4mm so well on track for a dry warm month here in Auckland.

Currently 26C, sunny after a cloudy morn. Had a few days in Wanaka, very comfortable weather down there after the muggy heat here last week however dps are at comfortable levels here now
