The situation
A MOSTLY CLOUDY MONDAY – EARLY DRIZZLE/LATE FINE BREAK FOR MOST
Good evening. It’s been a mostly cloudy and cooler day across the Canterbury Plains & Coast, with areas of light rain and drizzle. A few spots recorded 10-15mm, including parts of Christchurch. It was brighter and calm about the Interior and Mackenzie Country west of Burkes Pass, with Twizel grabbing top spot, with a pleasant 24.6 degrees – the full list of the daily ‘highs’ below.
It will remain cloudy in the east this evening, with isolated areas of drizzle, while those towns through the Interior and Mackenzie Country will enjoy sunny and warm conditions. Source your town page for specific details.
Our rather stagnant & cloudy weather continues through Monday, with areas of drizzle and showers in the morning, before late fine breaks. Nor-easterlies will be fresh about the coast and plains. Those inland basins in the Mackenzie Country will once again enjoy brighter and warmer afternoon conditions.
Early and middle stages of next week look unsettled about the Canterbury Plains & Coast, with mostly cloudy skies, drizzle and showers at times, before nor-westerlies and warmer temperatures arrive late Friday and continue over the weekend.
