Central Otago will experience a range of weather this week, featuring sunshine, warmth and even a bit of rain. 

Cromwell-raised MetService Meteorologist Lewis Ferris says Central Otago is in for a mixed bag this week. 

“Monday might just be the nicest day this week,” Lewis says. “Light winds and warm temperatures around the region with Alexandra approaching the 30C mark.”

He says after Monday a brief change will arrive from the north. 

“The northerly wind picks up on Tuesday and will be strong at higher elevations,” Lewis says. “There may even be a few spots of rain. 

“Wet weather is looking more likely on Wednesday as a low pressure system rolls across the south. 

“The northerly start out strong but turn to a weaker southerly towards the end of the day.” 

Lewis says a change will arrive with the southerly, as temperatures drop slightly. 

“Thursday has a wee drop in temperature and is forecast to remain cloudy with a few showers more likely in the morning,” he says. 

“The end of the week is looking a bit more uncertain with a few showers possible on Friday/Saturday but this isn’t locked in at the moment.”
