A run down on today’s weather…

Sun?

Not a great deal – the South Island’s eastern and northern regions will likely see the most sun.

Rain?

A period of rain or showers for pretty much all of New Zealand.  A cold front is weakening as it heads north east over the North Island today… so showers in the west and a spit or two in the east….clearing in most places by afternoon or evening.

Temps?

Much of New Zealand will be around the 20 degree mark, give or take 2 degrees.  But, there are 2 exceptions – the North Island’s east coast, likely to be in the mid 20s… and the South Island’s south coast – likely to be more winter-like in the lower teens.

Wind?

West or south-west winds will build over the North Island today and the South Island tomorrow.  Nothing extreme though.

Thunderstorms?

Our government forecaster, MetService, is predicting a HIGH chance of thunderstorms this morning across the West Coast, and a MODERATE chance of thunderstorms over Canterbury and northern Otago this afternoon.

Yesterday the cold change brought a severe thunderstorm with localised flooding to Invercargill.
