A FINE & WARM WEDNESDAY FOR THE EAST – rain confined to the Main Divide.

Good morning. It’s a fine and mild start across the region, with nor-westerlies pushing many inland areas into the mid to high teens at 5:30am.

Our Wednesday is looking fine and warm again in the east, with mostly sunny skies, with high cloud developing in the afternoon. Heavier and persistent rain sets in again about the Main Divide/Headwaters. Nor-westerlies will be blustery and occasionally strong about inland areas and most, if not all of Canterbury is set to exceed 25 degrees, with a few eastern areas challenging 31-32 degrees around 2pm. Temperatures will remain mild overnight, especially about the foothills, with some spots possibly remining above 20 degrees.

Check into your town page for specific and moderated details today, there will be contrast across the region.

The remainder of the week looks mostly fine and warm in the east, with isolated showers possible on Friday, with converging winds and day time ‘heating’.

More heavier and sustained falls may affect the Main Divide and Canterbury Headwaters once again on Sunday.
