South to southwesterly winds ease for Southland and Central Otago??

It’s been light winds all day over those areas.

Invercargill seeing 10 to 15 km/h SW winds this evening, expecting them to ease later. Central Otago granted the winds are a bit lighter but still from the SW driection.

Never said anything about them being strong winds.
