Hastings climbed to the top today with a high of 30 degrees and many parts of the country felt some warmth under blustery conditions, whereas the cold southerly made an impact over the southern half of the mainland, with Invercargill just nudging 13 degrees, which was half of yesterdays high.

Tonight and tomorrow the cooler air should wind its way north with some showers moving into eastern areas.
