Conditions slowly start to improve and warm up on Friday afternoon as south-westerlies make the transition to the nor-east about Coastal Canterbury & the Plains.
Over the weekend it’s looking relatively fine and mild across the Canterbury Plains & Coast with variable high cloud cover and pleasant temperatures.
