Additional weather information
Meteorologist's view
Winds may approach gale over the most exposed ground through the middle of the day especially. Feeling colder than temperatures suggest.
Weather
Fine during the early hours, but with winds strengthening and cloud thickening and lowering. Periods of rain making inroads southwards from daybreak, with some heavier bursts, especially for more exposed west-facing slopes. Windy through this time, with cloud likely to envelop higher ground. Very gradual improvement is possible later in the afternoon, with northeastern parts brightest as winds also ease generally. Drier with isolated showers by evening.
Chance of cloud-free hill tops
Near-nil.
Low cloud and visibility
Blanket low cloud down to 400 metres, with moderate visibility in rain, periodically lowering in heavier bursts. Visibility should improve generally later in the afternoon.
