Our roof was 51 now the air con is on.

Don’t know what happened to your thunderstorms u mentioned - only spots this morning from high cloud then this all stormed off and now left with heat and cloudy periods plus a strong nw - yes cyclone uesi effects. I kind of thought tho that storms here do not form under a strong to severe gale W episode like currently unless it involves a S change which we haven’t had in weeks

Oh lordy Russ can you turn the bloody heat off..garden is struggling,on critical water restrictions...water for the stock first,then us and garden takes it's own chances .

I was picking strawberries in our garden when the sun finally came out in Oxford. Finished the job quickly as it was just too hot.

Sweltering and stuffy here in Little River. Must be 34 degrees or so here too!! 😲

35 rolleston 39 in my house 45 up in roof thank God for air cons haha 😂😂

Well that explains why we nearly died from the heat doing firewood. Thought I'd gone soft lol

Saying that it is still 36° in North Loburn.

Very hot in hanmer springs☀️ over cast and a few light showers have come through

Still 33 in west melton at 5pm

Absolutely loving it. Now this is what I class as a mint summer day

Beautifull ! A real summer !

Random showers in Timaru still very hot

It's just too hot once the sun came out.

Awful hot here in cust way 😞 horses enjoying there trees thank god

gosh after the sun came out it went to 40 deg but we are sheltered cooled now to 30

Bloody hot today in Templeton

In Rolleston at 440pm

Lovin the heat! Bring it on!!!

36 degrees out here at the Lake so far.Im melting.

We are melting in Pegasus with no air con 🤪😅😅

Dying in Rangiora - give me rain!! 😂😂

My husband looked at our gauge in the shade on the lawn an hour ago in Rangiora and it registered 34 degrees

Not coping drinking a Simply Squeezed smoothie took bus to and from supie ( supermaket)

Hope it's still warm at Easter

📷 SPECTACULAR SUNRISE - check out the fiery skies caught on webcam this morning in Hanmer Springs NZs Alpine Spa Village . What a shot, another great day to visit the Hanmer Springs Thermal Pools & Spa.

🌡A HOT START TO THE WEEK - PM THUNDERSTORM RISK OVER THE NEXT 2 DAYS.

💧The remnants of Ex Tropcial Cyclone Uesi brought over 160mm to the Upper Waimakariri River, but the heavier rain is now easing; our warning has now been removed.

🌡⛅Its set to be a scorcher across the Canterbury Plains & Coast today, with some spots possibly recording 32-33 degrees.

🌩Instability in the atmosphere this afternoon may create impressive cloud build ups and there is the risk of heavy showers and thunderstorms with high intensity rain and hail - risk becomes more widespread on Tuesday.

Had shower in St Albans brief tho

Tell me it was warm this morning we couldn’t get to sleep till around two, hope we get that rain round 4 today.

Hi you use Tekapo and mt cook pictures but no forecast for Twizel or Tekapo

How come Twizel has been kicked off your list? 🤔

Sunrise this morning at Selwyn..

The sky in Parklands

Sitting outside and enjoying the cool breeze in Ashburton at the moment. After a really hot evening. Not looking forward to the hest today. Roll on winter.

I take it those afternoon wet chances are more or less spillovers - high nw influence (h/cloud followed by lower straddling cumulus) here currently tho mostly calm

Oxford this morning

🥵 will take it easy at exercise this morning!

I slept so well last night. The room felt cool b'cos there was hardly any sun yesterday.

Hoping for a t/storm

Hoping for those T/storms here

Rain but definitely not hail

Thought you said it was going to be fine this week Liam O'Reilly
