Hawke's Bay residents will have to keep their brolly close this week as the region is in for a mixed bag from Mother Nature.
"Unsettled," is how Metservice meteorologist Peter Little describes the weather prediction, sharing the region's disappointment that yesterday's beautiful weather was only a temporary fix.
"It was never going to last," he says, "unfortunately the weather is going to turn, cloud will increase today and then from the afternoon there will be some scattered rain.
"It won't be raining all the time, but it will be mostly cloudy."
Little says a trough of low pressure will move over the country from the Tasman Sea
today and it will continue to linger for much of the working week.
