Tomorrow is certainly looking to bring cooler temperatures to the South Island, the North Island starts the day ok for some however in the afternoon a front moves over. The front is not looking like delivering substantial rain to those in the far north that need it unfortunately but a period of showers looks likely none the less. Let’s have a decent run down of how the weather is looking in your region tomorrow.

restricted to southern and eastern parts of the region (mainly in the afternoon), elsewhere looks to have sunny spells. Southwesterlies tending more
southerly in the afternoon and becoming brisk. The odd snow flurry to 800m and a
temperature range of 12 to 14 degrees.
