Thursday delieverd a fairly nondescript day in terms of weather across the country but it didn’t stop the comments coming in about what Thursday had on offer.

Niki said today in Manawatu it was a bit of everything..”was cold in palmerston north this morning but now the cloud has burnt off and its getting hot.”

Wayne had a bit to say about the rural situation..”Very warm in waitara sea flat az.give us dairy farmers some rain urgently.we will have to dry of monday ish if we get none .true story.”

Dennis was complimentary about the weather in Taranaki today..”Lovely and sunny in New Plymouth after a chilly windy start. Summer has returned, currently 25.8 degrees!”

The Black Caps today got on the cricket field in Dunedin, after the first day was washed out, and they bowled admirably.
“Black Caps are running a temperature, 99 in the shade” said one Facebook reader.

Michelle posted..”Nice and warm in porirua. Slight breeze. Loving this warm weather.”

Temperatures were also mentioned such as 26 in Waiuku and 25.2 in Tauranga this afternoon.

Cooler temperatures prevailed across eastern parts of the South Island though with an easterly picking up.
Tonight, cool conditions over central and southern regions could settle in however the country as a whole is in for a dry night as we get set to tackle Friday.
