\u201cElsewhere over the country [is] generally dry. There will be a few showers for some of the coastal areas, in particular in the far south for Fiordland, Southland and Clutha. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd also along parts of the east coast towards Wairarapa, Hawke\u2019s Bay and Gisborne, there will be a few periods of showers coming through over the course of this week, but for the most part, no significant weather systems expected to be affecting New Zealand.\u201d<\/p>\n
But with the more settled and dry weather also comes the cold, with Fernandes forecasting \u201cquite a chilly week for most areas\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis week will be quite cold, colder than normal for this time of the year for many parts of New Zealand.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn particular parts of the North Island, we are expecting frosts, especially into Tuesday and Wednesday morning for much of the central part \u2026 towards the Wairarapa and Hawke\u2019s Bay, as well as [the] Gisborne region, where we will see temperatures close to, if not dipping just a little bit below zero, especially on Tuesday morning. <\/p>\n
\u201cAnd we will see temperatures rising slightly into the middle of the week, but likely to still see frosts, especially for parts of the interior and the high ground of the North Island.\u201d <\/p>\n
Temperatures in the South Island are expected to be more \u201cwithin a normal range for this time of the year\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cMinimum temperatures [are] still expected to be getting into the low single digits for many places, if not even below zero for some of the mountainous areas. And then maximum temperatures reaching the mid-teens for most places over New Zealand for most days this week.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the colder temperatures, Fernandes said no snow is forecast this week. <\/p>\n
\u201cIf anything, there could be a bit of snow in some of the higher ground in the far south, but nothing that would be affecting any populated areas.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cElsewhere over the country [is] generally dry.
