Trying to decide what to pack for camping at Twizel, can’t workout which forecast to look at, Timaru? Wanaka?
Should we be planning for a far bit of rain?

Hi there
NW winds initially could bring spillover rain from the alps for Twizel but the southerly change should see a clearance. Enjoy yourself in the MacKenzie!
Cheers
