Will easily end up being the 2nd hottest February (at least for the airport) since records began in 1954...

Can't believe how the weather has been since I moved back to Christchurch after 6 and a half years overseas. January was shocking and February has been incredibly warm for here with lots of occurrences of consecutive days over 25 degrees(4-5 in a row) and it hasn't dropped below 20 once yet.
