A settled week ahead for the Waitaki district.

As we kick off the working week, the weather for the Waitaki district is looking relatively settled with mostly sunny skies and average temperatures.

On the coast, precipitation will be fairly minimal, with just a few showers likely on Tuesday night. Daytime highs will vary between 12 and 16 degrees, with overnight lows between 4 & 8 degrees. Thursday looks to be the pick of the days this week - with warmer temperatures and cloudless skies forecast, you may even get the laundry dry outside!
