Apparently Masterton had it’s highest April temperature today as well.
I like seeing places like Dunedin being the national high, makes maximum and minimum’s for the country interesting rather than Kaitaia taking the maximum and, say , Invercagill taking the country’s low.

Hey JohnGaul,
You caught me on my day off (much to popular belief I do have some days off each week!) but I had to reply.
I agree – I felt the same way on Saturday when Auckland FINALLY made the top spot – which is rare.
