Heating up

According to some weather reports, the official high temperature in Auckland tomorrow will be 28 (which has a nice mirror number in the US, 82F). The actual temperature is always several degrees warmer than the official temperature, so it could easily hit 30 (86F). This is very warm for us.

The National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) is predicting average or above average temperatures across the country for the next three months. A contributing factor is that surface temperatures of the ocean surrounding the country are about 0.5 C above normal, and will probably remain at those levels through the rest of summer.

Here on the North Shore, cooler temperatures are predicted for tomorrow, but only by about 5 degrees (3 degrees F). We’ll see. Sometimes it’s been hotter on the shore than in Auckland City.

What's with Saturdays being so hot lately?
