A cool and wet week forecast.

It looks like the next two days will be nice and fine for the Waitaki region, until wet conditions return midweek with the arrival of another southerly front on Wednesday.



It will bring light rain at first, becoming heavier on Thursday with strong southerlies, easing overnight. Friday will see a return to rain and south easterlies continuing into Saturday.
