Dave you're about the same latitude as Sydney, so I'd guess that your temps would have been higher, interesting. Maybe because you are a smaller, narrower island compared to AU.
Anyway, greetings to all our Kiwi Friends, have a great 2011.

Yes - certainly not much land mass here to heat up compared to AU.
However, the east coast of NZ can hit 40c in extreme situations in summer (very rare) - from hot dry Foehn winds lifted up over the ranges. (record is 42C)
Can't say I would like to experience 40C anyway...
