HOTTEST DAY SO FAR
Thousands sought cooling waters yesterday in the north-westerly heat of the hottest day of summer so far. The maximum temperature was 81.2 degrees, recorded about 2 p.m. at the Botanic Gardens. At Harewood airport, the maximum temperature of 77 degrees at 2 p.m. compared with the maximum temperature of Show Day of 80.2 degrees. At the Centennial Pool late yesterday afternoon, the cashier hardly had time to answer the telephone. Asked for some estimate of the number that had passed her box, she replied: “I haven’t got time; there’s a long queue waiting,” and hung up. About 3 p.m. yesterday the north-westerly changed to a southerly, bringing with it a' forecast of “cooler weather.”
