DUNEDIN, Last Night,
To-day will be long remembored by Dunedin residents ns the hottest day during the past seven years. The burning rays of the sun tried tho endurance of many and numbers were almost prostrated.
A fresh wind from tho north-west, swept tho city like a blast from a furnace. Tho thermometer registered 92 degrees in the shade at mid-day, equivalent to 120 degrees in the sun. In February, 1922, the thermometer registered 91 degrees in tho shade. To-day’s reading was 10 degrees higher than that of Thursday and 22 degrees higher than on January 1. There was a big demand for ieo cream and local vendors cleared their stocks in a few hours. Women thronged tea-rooms and marble-bars in search of rest and cooling drinks.
