Kia ora and welcome to Saturday!

We have a chilly evening ahead, so it's time to start thinking about donning those winter jerseys, jackets and socks.

The weather forecast for today is for cloudy periods ahead with a chance of a shower. Fresh southwesterlies are expected to build up towards noon and turn to lighter southerlies in the evening.

It's a three clothing day with an expected high of 18 and plunging to an overnight low of 5 degrees so make sure to keep warm if heading outdoors.

On Sunday June 9, we're expecting a fine day with southerly breezes tending to westerly in the evening. Monday and Tuesday are also looking to be fine, with a few showers forecast for Wednesday, and the remainder of the week generally fine. Overnight temperatures all week are predicted to be 10 degrees or below.
