Winter has definitely settled into Hawke's Bay as the first full week of June gets under way, with rain, snow and gale force winds all expected to hit the region this week.
MetService meteorologist Kyle Lee said northwesterly winds will bring fine weather for Tuesday, with evening cloud, and a high of 19C in Napier and Hastings.
This is about 4.5C higher than the average for June, Lee said.
The warmer whether will not hang around however, with Wednesday seeing rain, possibly heavy, and snow which could affect the Napier-Taupo Rd.
"On Wednesday it starts turning, we do have a weather system, quite a decent one coming in, which will bring quite a bit of rain, which will be possibly heavy, and bring snow down to 700m in the higher-level roads inland of Hawke's Bay."
