Jane Fowles I'm enjoying this hot weather now and looks like I'm coming home to it as well

stuff that and stuff the beach I am gonna build me an igloo and hope it doesnt melt too fast

Keep hydrated people. That's what dear mother used to tell us. I listened and keep Te Sefton Shed fridge stocked up.

Just left Christchurch and back in UK. It's 3 degrees here! Be grateful!

Yuck. Why do people describe 30 as " nice!"

Noooooooo! Too hot for me!

Joanna Butler best time of year :-)

When living in Cromwell school would finish at 2 as it got far to hot in the afternoons

It’s cooled down in Waimairi Beach to 31 degrees at 4pm.

Typical just when schools go back too.

Any relief (other than the likelihood of tomorrow and early Thursday) from this day after day after day of gales and drought/fire like conditions - evapotranspiration levels are extreme

What temp do we stop working...?

Nice. My backyard weather station says 10% relative humidity.

32 deg out here but nor west wind

32.1 at 2pm for us here in Mandeville North.

Rebecca, Amanda, Kids are going to be absolutely buggered! As they go back to school! They have to put up with the heat and long days again at the same time 😣

Just in time for school to go back.....happens every year 😂😎

Brad Cattermole Christ next week might need to put the girls inside with the AC xx

Very windy but a touch cooler up at Mt Pleasant!

So if it gets to 35degs and no aircon we can all go home for the day

Days like this I'm really glad I work in a fridge!!

Just in time for kids going back to school poor teachers

Yay! I wait all year for this kind of weather ... bring it on! (with a bit of rain thrown in too every few days please!) 💥💥💥💥💥

Where are the easterlies!!!

🌡☀️ MORE SUN AND WARM CONDITIONS TOMORROW – GALES & RAIN BECOME WIDESPREAD LATE WEDNESDAY.

Good evening. It’s been another sunny and mild day across the region with most towns and areas pushing into the twenties. Darfield took top honours with 29.1 degrees while closer to the Main Divide it was a lot cooler with Arthur’s Pass recording just 16 and Mt Cook Village 17 degrees. Full list of the daily ‘highs’ on the link below.

🌧🌀We have some even warmer conditions on the way before rain, thunderstorms and colder southerlies arrive during later stages of Wednesday. Rain and widespread precipitation are likely and we may even see thunderstorms in southern parts of the region. Many areas & towns will record 29-31 degrees around midday Wednesday and will be hovering on 15-16 degrees 24 hours later on Thursday.

⚠️ We expect more stormy conditions about the Main Divide through Wednesday with heavy and significant rainfall likely, in addition strong to gale force nor-west winds for the Canterbury High Country. Something to keep in mind if you’re heading over the alpine passes or thinking of heading into the hills & ranges mid-week. We currently have a ‘Watch’ in place for full details.
