The latest extended forecasts indicate a wet week ahead, suggesting we make the most of the next few days.
The MetService outlook for the weekend is for fine weather but a change to southeasterly conditions on Monday will bring rain.
At this stage there is “low confidence” that “south to southeast gales could become severe south of a line Taranaki to East Cape”.
The southeasterly flow continues all week, with the rain easing to showers over Thursday and Friday.
After a good run of tar-melting weather, the district’s residents will have noticed the change to cooler temperatures.
