26.9C here at 1:50pm.
Edit: Dunedin Aero since peaked at around 32C after 4pm.

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

Re: General February Weather
Where was the Cheviot reading taken, at an 'offical' site?

Re: General February Weather
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 ?

Re: General February Weather
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.

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

Re: General February Weather
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.
