Central Otago’s weekend weather shows off summer in full effect, so enjoy it whilst you can.

MetService meteorologist Lewis Ferris says, You may have heard about Cyclone Cody impacting parts of the country late this weekend and into next week.

“Good news for Central Otago is that this stays well away and weatherwise this weekend your biggest worry will be the heat!”

High 20s and even into the 30s are likely this weekend.

Hot afternoon temperatures are likely to generate lake breezes for people near large bodies of water.

Now is a good time to enjoy some vitamin D.  

Gardening Guide:

Dead head spent rose flower heads to promote new growth, keep the plant well-watered (in cooler hours of the day so the fungal disease black spot doesn't get a chance to germinate). 

For some instant colour consider planting some wildflowers, snapdragons or petunias. 

Water container plants frequently in dry weather.
