☀ THE SUN IS BACK – VERY WARM TEMPERATURES EARLY NEXT WEEK.

Good morning Canterbury. It’s a fantastic start to the day across most of the region, as our new ridge of high pressure takes firm control.

⛅We still have a few low-lying areas of low cloud and ‘fog’ pockets, but overall, it’s going to be a fine & settled start to the weekend.

🌡There will be contrast in day time ‘highs’ today, be sure to check in to your town forecast for specific details. To give you an idea, Twizel may nudge 27-28 degrees around 2:30-3pm while coastal areas may record more modest ‘highs’ around 20-22 degrees.

🌡☀EARLY NEXT WEEK - We’ve seen an absence of nor-west days in December, but early next week is looking very warm and sunny, with 30 degrees possible on Monday afternoon.

💧☁ COLD & WET WEATHER - Middle stages of next week look cold and wet, with widespread rain and potentially heavy falls. There is the risk of thunderstorms and snow about the ranges. Source your town page for specific details.

🎁 CHRISTMAS DAY – We’ve set the bar regarding Christmas Day, providing detail and intensity via our live weather feed. This period of weather has remained consistent for over 2 weeks; highlighting that while weather can provide curve calls even on the day; careful long-range analysis can be highly accurate; yes, that means it’s still looking fantastic! ☀

⛅ THE PLACE TO BE THIS AFTERNOON – THE MACKENZIE COUNTRY.

☁ Good afternoon. Most of Canterbury is struggling to budge this lower level cloud, drizzle and even periods of light misty rain this afternoon. Temperatures are hovering around 16-17 degrees for most, but the Mackenzie Country is enjoying a little more sun and in return slightly more warmer temperatures.

🌡Lake Tekapo has nudged 20 degrees, while Twizel & Mt Cook Village are just behind on 19 degrees.

⬇Check out the ‘blues’ of Lake Tekapo from Mt John, even a few lupins in shot. Our pick for this afternoon.
