The Humidex, which measures what the temperature feels like on the skin by adding humidity to the temperature, is recording a staggering 28 degrees in Auckland right now. 28 degrees is also currently being recorded in Coromandel and Hawkes Bay.
Head weather analyst Philip Duncan says today will be the hottest day for a number of North Island places so far this Summer.
