Current Tauranga temperatures are at the extreme end of the scale for April, says Metservice.
Yesterday hit a high of 27.9C and today was expected to be near the same, said duty forecaster Frances Russell. Saturday reached 26C.
That was a Metservice equal-record temperature for April, although Miss Russell said the organisation stopped keeping records in 2006 so data was incomplete.
"As far as we can tell, the temperature is at the high end - 27.9C is at the extreme end of temperatures we have records for."
Miss Russell said coming days were also expected to be warm, with 27C expected again today, 25C forecast for tomorrow and 24C for Wednesday.
