What's On Invers Weather

Today's shaping up to be a typical Southland winter's day – a bit of everything.

This morning starts mainly dry with increasing cloud, but don't be fooled by the sunshine if it peeks through. Showers are expected to develop this afternoon before easing later this evening. Northwesterly winds will strengthen during the day, making it feel cooler than the thermometer suggests. MetService is forecasting a high of around 16°C with an overnight low near 7°C.

WeatherWatch says a front moving up the lower South Island is bringing the unsettled weather, with only a low risk of thunderstorms confined mainly to Fiordland. For Invercargill, it's more a case of keeping the raincoat handy than worrying about anything severe.
