Some people may be finding it tougher to get up in the morning as temperatures take on a chillier perspective but the reality is when it comes to climate in the first week or so of May Hawke's Bay has a pretty good thing going.

That's the view of a MetService meteorologist with fine and settled weather predicted for the week, with daytime peak temperatures up to 20C through to at least Friday, and longer-term computer-based projections that it could continue close to halfway through the month.

Night-time temperatures in the Napier and Hastings during the week in the twin-cities are forecast to go no lower than 7C.

"You've got a pretty good week," the spokesperson said.

There were no expectations of frost over the next week, nor rain, and MetService, while focused on no more than six days out, forecasts no significant deterioration before May 10.
