It got up to 33C here in Geraldine today'
Might be a good idea for a new topic.
Very warm with not much wind here.
I wonder what tomorrow will bring?
I see there were a lot of plus 30s over the country especially in inland areas.

As a comparison to the UK to what would equate to early May here, the highest temperatures are 29°C, with 32°C not reached until the end of the month.

Slight NE wind which is the hot wind for here, makes a change from the long periods of NW of late.

Not quite 30C here yet. We bit more of an easterly here compared to yesterday's wind absence, if so a very slight westerly.

How can it be so hot here (halswell) yet Lyttleton and New Brighton only on 18.9C & 17.1C Although that Lyttleton site must be much more exposed to the easterly

The westerly does not seem to be as strong as expected, only 11kph even out at the very exposed Port Taharoa. Means the heat I think will be more widespread inland NI, but places like Rotorua, Kawerau etc may not exceed 30 today.

Sugar loaf and the airport seem to be the only stations working in and around CHCH on 'your weather'

Cracked the 30c mark here but today's heat seems different to yesterdays as there is a bit of an easterly blowing compared to yesterday's stagnant heat.
