AREAS OF CLOUD LINGER ON TUESDAY – isolated shower risk about inland areas.

Good evening. It’s been a mostly cloudy and cooler day across the region, with areas of rain and drizzle clearing away this afternoon. Omarama grabbed top spot, with a modest 18.4 degrees; the full list of the daily ‘highs’ below.

Fine spells will be more frequent about the Mackenzie Country and Interior this evening, with areas of cloud more widespread about the coast and plains. Cloud will generally roll in from the east, becoming more widespread yet again. Easterlies easing back this evening.

Check into your town page for specific and moderated wind and temperature details, there will be significant contrast across the region this evening.

Looking Ahead .

Tuesday and Wednesday look a little more settled for most part, under weak high pressure. We may see a few isolated showers on Tuesday afternoon about inland areas and areas of cloud may be more widespread at times about the coast and plains.

Cooler southerlies bring rainfall chances for eastern areas on Thursday and again on Sunday, with brief periods of settled weather in between.

Stagnant weather across the region on Monday, with weak high pressure, with areas of lower and middle level cloud and light precipitation chances; mostly before midday.

A narrow ridge of high pressure brings more stable weather on Tuesday and Wednesday, bar areas of cloud and shower risk on Tuesday.

Strong cold southerlies may arrive later in the week, with widespread and heavy rain possible; additionally snow about the hill country. This remains a fluid situation, with constant changes in data – current risk is low.
