My sincere thanks to our two very kind friends who posted the previous two weathercheck stories. I now feel free to make a brief weathercheck posting.

At this mid-winter time of the year we in NZ can expect chilly evenings and very chilly mornings, especially with a huge anticyclone moving in from the south-west, bringing clear skies and calm conditions. At 8 o'clock this morning the air temperature was only 2.1Celsius.

The only possible relief that we can hope for, is the promised rain over the week-end moving in with a low from the tropics to the north. The forecast is for rain setting in tomorrow Saturday, becoming heavy on Sunday, but clearing on Monday. Maybe tomorrow our 2008 mid-winter's day, will find us much more comfortable and we may even stop complaining if that is at all possible.

Detailed Local Forecast:
Today: Cloudy periods. Light wind. Low: 4° High: 15°
Tomorrow: Becoming cloudy, late showers. Freshening northeast. Low: 10° High: 15°
Sunday: Periods of rain. Gusty northerlies. Low: 10° High: 15°
Monday: Rain easing to showers. Gusty westerlies developing. Low: 4° High: 15°
