Depends on what you call hot Jim. Upper 29 C is hot here. 30 and up has been a rarity here, but with climate change, it is not so rare now. 29 would be the top generally for Auckland in summer. 4 C the lowest in winter. It is the difference in the day to night time temperatures though, isn't it? The difference for here would probably be about 10 C generally. More in spring and autumn.
