"The weather has been good apart from that cold snap we had a couple of weeks ago. The warmth has been great for grass growth and lamb growth combined."
Ms Glue said the forecast for today would bring cloudy periods and a few showers mainly about the coastal areas and northern parts of Hawke's Bay.
She said the urban areas were likely to miss the scattered showers and would see some breaks of fine weather but southwesterly winds would be prominent throughout the region.
