There has been little relief for South Islanders with another day of record-breaking temperatures with the mercury topping 36C in Blenheim.
It s not just the South Island either today, with some parts of the North also creeping above 30C.
For the first time since 1954, Christchurch topped 35C two days in a row, according to Metservice.
Blenheim also hit 36.1C at 4pm, smashing its January temperature record set in 1972.
