Weekend temperatures top 24C in South Island - did you get out?

Jake Kenny Reporter from Community News

Happy Monday neighbours,

Temperatures reached record highs in parts of the South Island on Sunday, with Kaikōura the hottest spot in the country at 24.5C.

Riccarton equalled its second-highest winter temperature with 23.6C, Lincoln had its fourth-highest at 22.3C, while Waimate had its hottest winter day since records began in 1908, reaching 23.4C.

But despite the weekend of warm weather across New Zealand, winter isn’t over yet.

Did you make the most of the weather while it lasted?
