Sweltering summer temperatures are ahead with 30C for parts of the North Island today

Brian from Mount Roskill

Temperatures could exceed 30C in some areas across New Zealand, with heat alerts possible for the eastern parts of the country. MetService forecaster Juliane Bergdolt told the Herald the high-pressure system over NZ would bring fine weather during the next two days. She said the sizzling temperatures were forecast to continue for the eastern parts of the North Island - although thankfully nighttime temperatures will drop to the mid-teens.
Around the motu: Masterton is forecast to hit 31C for the next two days, with Hastings also set for 30C+. Inland North Island areas like Taumarunui can expect 30C today and 29C the day after. Auckland is forecast to reach 28C today and 27C tomorrow. Hamilton is set for 29C, Whangamatā 28C, and Rotorua and Taupō could see 27C. In the South Island, the highs for Christchurch, Blenheim and Kaikōura are also expected to range from the high 20s to low 30s.

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Freehold, renovated, future potential

Swechha from Mount Roskill

Hi everyone, we thought we’d share this here in case you, or someone you know, is looking for a lovely 2-bedroom freehold home in Blockhouse Bay. This has been our investment property for many years, and we’ve recently put a lot of care into preparing it for its next owners, including a brand-new kitchen, new flooring, and fresh paint inside and out. Set on a freehold section of around 560m², it offers a generous lawn, a new veggie garden, and future potential to add a cabin or sleepout. We truly hope it becomes a place where new memories are made.

For viewings, please contact Piyush and Manali Setia at Ray White Blockhouse Bay - 021 2363 854:
