A MOSTLY CLOUDY TUESDAY FOR SOUTHERN & CENTRAL AREAS – fine periods in the north.

Good evening. After a mostly cloudy morning, our afternoon has been brighter across the region. South/south-westerlies will continue to ease back through the evening. Arthur’s Pass Village grabbed top spot, with a pleasant 25.4, the full list of the daily ‘highs’ below.

The remainder of Monday will be fine for all, with remaining areas of cloud clearing away. Overnight areas of low cloud increase again about the coast and plains. Check into your town page for specific and moderated details this evening, there will be contrast across the region. 

There will be contrast across the region on Tuesday, with cloud lingering through the day south of around Rangiora, while we see brighter periods further north, before cloud becomes widespread everywhere by evening.

We continue to watch the weekend, but at this stage models and data continue to fluctuate and we hope to nail down more specific details on Wednesday morning. At this stage we may see some widespread rain on Sunday and into early next week.

Weak high pressure brings settled weather early this week.

Cooler southerly flows bring cloud on Wednesday, with shower risk and rain chances increase over the weekend, with a low possibly bringing east/south-easterly rain. 

Later stages of the week continue to fluctuate and we hope to nail down specifics and have more model consistency by Wednesday morning.
