The situation
Issued at 4:56 pm on the 19th of March by Russell Voice

A FINE & SETTLED WEDNESDAY – early frosts in parts/afternoon nor-easterlies about the coast.

Good evening. After a cloudy and wet start about northern areas, conditions have improved from the south this afternoon. It was brighter through the day about the Mackenzie Country, with Twizel taking top spot, with a pleasant 19.6 degrees; the full list of the daily ‘highs’ below.

The remainder of Tuesday will be mostly fine, with remaining areas of cloud clearing about North Canterbury. Under clear skies tonight/overnight, with lighter winds we can expect frosts to develop – more widespread about the basins. Check into your town page for specific and moderated details across the region – there will be contrast across the region.

A ridge of high pressure brings fine and stable weather between Wednesday and Thursday, before another southerly brings more rainfall chances on Friday. Members – town pages may undergo significant changes later this morning, if we see model consistency.

Later next week we’re watching some much colder air, with showers and possibly some snow about the hills – more via our ‘live weather feed’.
