You’re between a rock and a hard place with that cold spell 10 days hence.
Like you say, it has to be mentioned as it’s in the media.
Cold and unsettled is about as accurate as that can be!
Still, it’s good to see we may finally get a cold outbreak this winter. Apart from occasional frost it’s not been particularly chilly.

Hi 🙂 We are based in Ohakune (in Rangataua actually just outside Ohakune) and very rarely get any kind of indication as to what our weather is doing. Where we are placed at the base of Mt Ruapehu can mean we are often in our own micro-climate and can frequently get very different weather than the areas on the news which typically tends to be Waiouru, Whanganui or Taupo. Would love if you could incorporate some weather for our area as we rely heavily on the weather for our tourism and knowing whether we are likely to get bookings/cancellations for the hundreds of Aucklanders and Wellingtonians that head our way for the ski slopes. There always seems to be a huge gap across the central plateau area whenever weather is reported across major stations and yet there are many of us that live here!! Thanks in advance 🙂
