COLD SOUTHERLY AIRFLOW TODAY – showers confined to Banks Peninsula

Good morning. It’s a fine, but cool start across most of the region, with early frosts about sheltered spots. A few showers continue to clip eastern parts of Banks Peninsula.

A much colder and strong south/south-westerly airflow covers the region today, with a few showers about Banks Peninsula until evening, while it will remain mostly fine elsewhere. Areas of cloud gradually develop by late afternoon/evening and we may see isolated light shower or drizzle risk about the eastern foothills from 6-7pm. Temperatures will remain cold for all, especially about exposed areas, with the associated wind-chill. 

Check into your town pages for specific and moderated details – there will be contrast across the region.

Saturday we expect weak high pressure to bring stable, but cooler weather across the region on Sunday & Monday. 

We start to see an increase in rainfall chances later next week, with southerlies.
