WHEW!! Auckland's hottest day in almost a century!!

Hi guys,

Yesterday (Thursday 12th Feb. for us) turned out to be the hottest day Auckland experienced in a very, very long time.

A high of 32ºC (90ºF) was touched......and it was sweltering with the high humidity. We had some rain toward the evening which only encouraged the humidity and "mugginess". Sheesh!!

Hopefully, it's a wee bit cooler today!!

PS: This is a serious thread.....a very serious thread!!

Good day to drink plenty of ice cold beer. Up here in Boston, MA. its been unseasonably warm with temps in the low to mid 50's the last couple of days. I like hot weather, typically in the summer we hit the 90's a lot and its very humid too. That's why I love going to Cape Cod.
