The mercury began to climb on Christmas Eve, with an overnight low of 11.6°C and a high of 29°C.

Christmas Day was a perfect day to stay by the pool with a cold drink, as temperatures rose to 35°C.

However, the heat peaked on Boxing Day with a low of 22°C and a maximum just above 40°C.

There will be minor relief from the sun over the weekend, with tops of between 27°C and 30°C, before temperatures ascend again in the coming week.

Monday, December 30, is forecast to reach 34°C after a low of 13°C, followed by New Year’s Eve, which is expected to hit 35°C from a low of 17°C.

New Year’s Day will likely see similar conditions, with a high of 34°C and a low of 14°C.

Rain is unlikely at this stage but winds of 15 to 20km/h are expected over the next three days.
