The situation
A FINE WEDNESDAY – areas of early frost & fog
Good morning. We have contrast across the region early on, with frosts about many of the basins and inland areas, while areas of low cloud and fog restrict frost activity elsewhere. Twizel is our coldest spot as we approach 6am, on -2.1 degrees.
Our Wednesday is looking superb, with remaining areas of cloud clearing by mid morning. Winds remain light inland, with nor-easterlies freshening for a time about the coast this afternoon. Temperatures will remain cool and traditional for late may, with most peaking around 12-14 degrees.

OUTLOOK
Most of the week is looking fine under high pressure, with little, or no rain currently forecast for the Canterbury Plains and Coast. Expect traditional late autumn weather, with cool and frosty mornings and fine days to follow.
We start to see more movement in the Tasman next week, with west/nor-westerly flows, bringing heavy rain and higher level snow to the Main Divide. Colder southerlies come back to life in early June, with an increase in rainfall and snowfall chances for eastern areas.
