Hawke's Bay residents should prepare to fire up the BBQ for a hot weekend.
MetService meteorologist April Clark said the region will experience temperatures six to eight degrees above November averages for the next few days.
"The whole of the north island is looking pretty warm, it's those northwesterlies bringing
subtropical air down from northern Queensland," she said.
She said the heat will peak in Napier at 29 degrees during the day on Sunday, and 20 degrees overnight on Saturday.
Northwesterlies mean there is no risk of any more thunderstorms, like last week.
