"Especially towards the end of the week we are going to get back some of those muggier, warmer, overnight temperatures.

"The ones that are a little bit harder to sleep in."

Over the next four days the South Island was getting really warm with parts of Marlborough, Canterbury Plains and Otago set to have highs of or close to 30C, she said.
