Hot spell coming to an end with cool down for many over next two days
Just a handful of places around New Zealand officially had a "heatwave" this week, despite the often record-setting hot weather.
On Thursday it was Hanmer Forest in North Canterbury that topped the temperature charts, with a stifling maximum of 38.4 degrees Celsius, according to the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research.
That was the hottest temperature there since records began in 1906, the fourth-equal highest temperature for January of anywhere in New Zealand, and the hottest temperature of this summer so far.
But while most of the country has sweltered over the past five days, the hot spell experienced by many has actually fallen short of official heatwave status.
