Central Otago’s weekend will experience some wet weather on Saturday.


MetService meteorologist Lewis Ferris says it will be a fine day on Friday, but another cool change zips through the region on Saturday bringing a few showers and southerly winds but it’s fairly inconsequential.


"Almost getting into frost territory Sunday morning, but the temperature will climb up to 20°C in the afternoon, with light winds and just a bit of cloud.


“The new working week starts off settled, but by Tuesday we could experience a couple more showers to kick off meteorological autumn season," he said.
