    A warm feeling down under

    La Nina heatwave sweeps the country | NATIONAL News

    New Zealand is in for a long, hot summer as La Nina hits our shores, the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (Niwa) says.

    Already, temperatures have soared across the country in late November, a pattern likely to continue until March, principal scientist James Renwick said today.

    "In November, pretty much all of the country, the South Island and most of the North Island away from the coast, was quite a bit warmer than normal. Over summer, we're expecting things to be on the warmer side in most places," he said.

    He said the current warm weather pattern - along with another La Nina heatwave in the late 80s - was the strongest in about 50 years.

    People could expect temperatures to be several degrees Celsius above normal, taking some regions into the 30s "from time to time".
