Gosh 29C or 30C: hardly that warm. Ha Noi is heading into winter and it’s still 29C during the day time and a very pleasant 16C or 17C early in the morning. Hardly enough to freeze one’s balls off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Theres a weather station in Whangarei on line it recorded 35.6c around 530 pm.The other day it was 33.something around the same time,an hour later it was only 24c,maybe its a tree shading when the sun goes around behind it by then after shining on the screen.

Perhaps you should do an article about the standard requirements for measuring temperature, Phil.

Unfortunately a lot of the cheap weather stations being set up do not have proper radiation shields, or are not sited properly, and so people think their temperatures are actually higher than they really are…

To Dave, I actually don’t care whether you believe it or not, Ive got better things to do than make up a top temp. :o)

It was cool and dull here in Kapiti today, i did almost! think about putting on the heater at one stage, bit of a shock after a muggy 22 yesterday!
It was so dark this morning with the drizzle, that some of my patients I was sitting up for breakfast thought I was the night nurse waking them up early!
