Summer in New Zealand

Today has been a warm day for most of the country. A northwest wind meant that many places on the west were windy, and some had rain; however, the east was fine and sunny. The temperature in Hastings was over 30 degrees today and many other towns had temperatures in the high 20s. The north was warmer than the south, as usual.
