NEW ZEALAND AGRICULTURAL SHOW, DRY THEN RAIN

If you are going to the show today and would prefer not to deal with rain then best go this morning and early afternoon, mid afternoon a southwest change blows through with thickening cloud then some rain. Thankfully the rain moves in towards the end of the show rather than first thing.

Enjoy the show if you go along and perhaps take a jacket or brolly if hanging around a bit later into this afternoon.
