Possible light rain on the day of the Mission Concert, but a generally fair Geon Art Deco Weekend are the weather cards which could be dealt for Hawke's Bay - according to forecaster Ken Ring.
His moon cycle-based predictions appear in his 2012 weather almanac which was prepared late last year, and if his forecasts for the opening week of February are anything to go by he may be on to something.
The opening week of the last official month of summer gets under way tomorrow under fine and warm conditions, although MetService is predicting a late southerly change.
Through Thursday the weather is forecast to be patchy and unsettled, and on Friday MetService is predicting rain and southwesterlies for the Bay and eastern regions.
Mr Ring's predictions effectively echo that.
