High pressure again expands back onto the South Island – like it’s reversing backwards temporarily, bringing a calm Saturday with areas of low cloud and fog in both islands for a time. With lighter winds some places in the South Island may be a little cooler today than they were yesterday.

It will be a cold morning too in many places, but a mild afternoon on the way also.
