Thursday Newsfeed: A couple cold & frosty nights coming (and more next week)

3/07/2024 9:05pm

Not a great deal of change today and Friday around NZ as winds become lighter for many and skies clear further in the east.

Showers linger today in the eastern North Island and also the southern coast of Wairarapa over to Wellington. Most other places are dry or mostly dry.

But it’s tonight and tomorrow night that may be more newsworthy with colder air sinking and frosts widespread across the country, potentially as far north as Auckland and Northland. Frosts will be heavy through the interior and higher elevations.

Windier weather this weekend will limit frosts – but next week clearer skies as high pressure moves in means more frosts and more cold nights coming. We’re in the depths of winter now.

❄️☘️Frost Alert for #Auckland & #Northland gardeners. Overnight frosts may damage gardens.

💐Ways to protect plants: Leave a sprinkler running overnight, or cheaper option is to throw blankets, sacks, or cardboard over frost-sensitive plants that normally grow all year round. pic.twitter.com/ekRlrzhJiF

🚨🌀#HurricaneBeryl, Category4️⃣, air pressure 959hPa.

🇯🇲The eye is passing extremely close to #Jamaica.

One positive is that the storm is moving very fast and the worst should be moving on from the nation in the next 3 hours to 6 hours. pic.twitter.com/L2RRY1Prpf
