Monday’s national forecast

12/01/2014 4:00pm

> From the WeatherWatch archives

Certainly not a summers day in the far south of New Zealand today, Invercargill and Dunedin for example are not likely to break 12 to 14 degrees respectively. So certainly a cold one. The culprit is a strong southwesterly airflow that lies over the country, it’s air originating deep down from the Southern Ocean.

evening or around midnight as winds change southwest.

move through mid afternoon onwards and winds change southwest by evening with
showers then having mostly cleared. There is the chance the odd one may remain
however.
