The weather is a hot topic at the moment and with good reason as Rotorua reached the second hottest day on record yesterday.
At 31.4C, it fell a mere .1C below the record of 31.5C of maximum temperature in any given month between today and 1964.
Although not as hot as yesterday, the heatwave would stick around, and today was expected to reach up to 29C in Rotorua and locals could expect a few more hot days.
"But it's warmer than the usual temperature for this time of the year," said Niwa meteorologist Ben Noll.
Tomorrow was expected to be slightly cooler again, with a forecast of 26-28C maximum and could potentially have cloud come through.
