What’s on – History, concerts and some rain

Bluesmen Mike Garner and Warren Houston will be performing at the Mount this afternoon.

Kia ora and welcome to a rather wet winter Sunday.

Expect showers this morning, with mostly rain from midday to early afternoon. There will be one or two showers returning again towards the evening, with westerlies for most of the day.

It's a two-layer-clothing day, with an expected high of 14 degrees and an overnight low of 5 degrees.

For most of the coming week the weather is expected to be cloudy with showers and westerlies interspersed with fine spells. Overnight temperatures will drop below 10 degrees.
