Residents in North Rd, where a prominent temperature gauge registered 31degC, might have begged to differ. But all would agree it was a cracker of a Dunedin day, remaining balmy enough for diners to eat out in the Octagon into the evening - despite MetService figures suggesting a recorded city high of just 22degC.
Alexandra and Balclutha recorded 26degC highs, Roxburgh 25.5degC, Oamaru 24degC and Cromwell 23degC by mid-afternoon.
The warm weather was expected to continue until Sunday.
