The first week of the school holidays will probably not be spent at the beach and people are advised to check the weather forecast on Thursday, with severe gales a possibility.
No rain was expected for tomorrow, apart from the ranges, and it would remain cloudy. The easterly winds that have brought wet weather to the region last week will continue, clouding up the skies.
Tuesday remains the same and Wednesday "looks to be your best day" for the week, Metservice meteorologist Emma Blades said.
"It is looking quite fine with a little bit of high cloud."
Thursday sees wet weather continue as a front moves across the country from the west, bringing rain to Hawke's Bay.
