Yeah, seeing a line off to the South from here, looking like it's around the mouth of the Rangitata River on the radar at the moment,cloud has now filled the blue sky we had earlier.
Absolutely no wind at the moment.

Very dark looking over to the east, south and west of here now. A few drops of precipitation.

Re: Polar Blast - Oct 5-6
Goodness me the leading edge of the front has really intensified since it moved through here about an hour ago. Radar looks impressive!

Snow showers off and on all day in Dunedin with sunny breaks in between. Wonder if the snow will lay once night falls.
