Covering period of Thursday 25th – Sunday 28th April – Tomorrow is ANZAC day, so with many dawn services planned across the country, MetService has you covered with the weather forecast.
Thursday’s weather will remain settled over the upper North Island with cloud cover increasing through the morning. Temperatures will be a touch chilly sitting in the single digits through Waikato, Bay of Plenty, and down the east coast.
For areas bordering Cook Strait, that’s Wellington, the Kāpiti Coast, and coastal Marlborough, there will be blustery northwesterly winds, so a windproof layer won’t go amiss.
Northwesterly winds will also be on the rise in exposed parts of the Canterbury High Country, inland Otago, and Southland. An Orange Strong Wind Warning is in place for the Canterbury High Country, while the other areas mentioned are under a Strong Wind Watch. Winds will ease from the south by the end of the day.
