Spring has finally arrived in the Bay with a spate of fine weather on the way this week.
However, the sunshine won't stop the frosts which will greet locals today and tomorrow, Metservice meteorologist Emma Blades said.
Bay locals can expect chilly starts to the day this week, today will bring a 3C low in the morning while tomorrow could drop to as low as -1C.
"Although the days will be nice and fine there should be the odd frost this week," Ms Blades said.
Ms Blades said the air is coming on a direct path from Antarctica with a bitter chill to it.
