NZ heat wave

New Zealand is having a bit of a summer heat wave
January is going to end up being the hottest month on record
( for average temperature)
We have recorded our hottest day here today since 1998
Ocean temperatures are also way up,28c (at a guess)in the local harbour water temperature as the tide comes over the mudflats

I just saw a couple of news reports about your weather there. Not good.

yes there has been a fatality blamed on the heat wave (the person had MS I think though?)
just broke my all time record high temperature here today 8O (beating yesterday’s record :wink:
