This means open air fires are not permitted across the Whangārei and Kaipara districts and all fire permits have been suspended.
The ban on private use of fireworks also remains in place in the Karikari peninsula and Ahipara township.
The Far North remains in a restricted fire season but fire permits are still suspended in the area until further notice due to the weather conditions.
Go to www.checkitsalright.nz... for more information.
"It’s very important people follow the fire ban and don’t light any outside fires or let off fireworks," says Principal Rural Fire Officer Myles Taylor.
"It’s too risky. In the current hot and dry conditions a stray ember or firework could easily start a fire which would quickly spread."
"It’s still very dry in the Far North but we are expecting some rain to come through the area over the next few days," says Myles Taylor.
"We will continue to monitor the conditions and fire danger level. Fire permits will be reinstated when it’s safe to do so and when there is less risk of a fire getting out of control.
"We need the people of Northland, and those planning a holiday in Northland, to do their part to prevent a wildfire this summer."

I am not much of an astronomy fan by and large - and so I must admit that I haven't the foggiest how to find Jupiter or Saturn in the night sky (If I'm lucky I can find Venus, Orion, and the big dipper).

Can anyone tell us approximately where in the sky to observe this event, and at what time? I found some info from the Northern Hemisphere that says SW just above the horizon ... but does that apply to us as well? Usually the configurations are 'upside down' as we view them, and things don't become visible in the same way between North and South.
Any pertinent information would be appreciated, thanks.
Once upon a time I was quite a fan of Hundertwasser, his painting style that is, back in the 1970s and 80s. The buildings he designed, well, they look very interesting, and appealed to me visually, but I remember hearing that the people living in them in Vienna and Paris didn't like them all … View moreOnce upon a time I was quite a fan of Hundertwasser, his painting style that is, back in the 1970s and 80s. The buildings he designed, well, they look very interesting, and appealed to me visually, but I remember hearing that the people living in them in Vienna and Paris didn't like them all that much.
Today I saw that the majority of the Whangarei Hundertwasser Centre has been finally revealed to view.
As far as my sense of aesthetics and design goes, there's only one thing I can say: What an atrocity. What a mind-bogglingly disproportionate eyesore. It fails to capture the spirit of the Hundertwasser designed houses I've seen; I completely fail to perceive any merit in this particular design. How sad. How astonishingly ugly. Call in the demolition crews ...

We better not fly
We better not doubt
The scientists' cry
Climate change is coming to town
They have made a list
Checked it more than twice
And what's on that list
Is not really nice
Climate change is coming to town
It looks like we've been sleeping
And haven't been awake
It looks like we've been pretty bad
So let's change for goodness sake!
We better not bitch
We better not moan
We better not whinge
Or grumble or groan
Climate change is flooding the town
The Arctic is in meltdown
And Santa lost his base
He's now a climate refugee
And looking for a space
We better not put
Our heads in the sand
The matter has gotten
Well out of hand
Climate change is wearing us down
We love to drive our guzzlers
Don't care about EVs
And all our money paid for gas
Is going overseas
We better retreat
We better adapt
We better make sure
Emissions are capped
Climate change is bucketing down
