Well it’s certainly a scorcher out there today!  Temperatures hitting 30 all over the place, or at least very close to it.  Even Invercargill made it to 29 thanks to a hot northerly blowing down from Otago.

Temperatures are still on the rise in some areas so it’s possible that some highs may go another degree or so after their 4pm recording!

Today’s highest temperature was 35 at Culverden.

Today’s lowest maximum temperature was 21 at Hokitika, Haast.

Tonight expect temperatures to drop quite a bit, especially once the days heat has mostly gone from the concrete/ground (usually well after midnight).  So after such a hot day the evening is looking warm in most places, but around sunrise tomorrow morning it may be another relatively chilly one like this morning was in many inland and northern regions of both islands.
