Hot spell coming to an end with cool down for many over next two days

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

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.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
