🧊A FROSTY MORNING - FOR ALMOST ALL

Cover those plants! Skies are clearing across Canterbury this evening, and temperatures are already beginning to drop.

❄️ Inland parts of the region could fall to around -5°C to -6°C by 7am Friday, which is pretty impressive, if that’s the word - as we approach the middle of September.

🧊Frosts are also expected across most towns on the Plains and Coast, with Christchurch forecast to dip to around -1°C to -2°C.

💧💧LIVE 9:25am. Heavy rain continues for many areas this morning and this unsettled weather is likely to continue through September and October, with a higher frequency of rainy southerlies, before we start to see possible drier periods in summer - traditional of an El Nino summer.

⛱️Yes, fingers are crossed for some fantastic beach days this summer, we've had some colder and wetter summers in recent years.

🟢We're in a fantastic position leading into summer, with lush conditions across Canterbury.
