Hawke's Bay has been boasting some of the country's best weather, but residents may need to dig out a hot-water bottle for the weekend, forecasters say.
As Dunedin was flooded by torrential downpours yesterday, the Bay boasted a spring-like high of 18C with scattered cloud.
However, a mixed bag is
on the way: "There's a lot of rain elsewhere so you're doing relatively well as a region for now," MetService meteorologist Lisa Murray says.
The mercury dropped to a cooler 8C overnight while today brings fine spells and showers.
"There's a low front that will turn the wind southwesterly - it might be quite strong about the coast."
