Speaker 1 (00:00):
Weather on the country with farmlands helping to prevent parasite
outbreaks this summer. Fell Duncan wraps the country for a Monday,
our resident weather man. Two questions for your fel Firstly,
we're the forecast for South Otago for Thursday, for the
southern storm shouts.

Speaker 2 (00:17):
There is a cold front coming through on Thursday. That's
twenty three degrees before the cold front comes in, maybe
some weather arriving, so you need to keep up to
date with the Rural Weather website. You can work out
the timing of the rain when it comes on in
because it'll move around a bit. But yeah, cold front
coming through, but warm before that.

Speaker 1 (00:32):
Okay, we might need to put the tiny pub and
the spate spar under the covered yards. More importantly, and
we've been talking to Paul Painter and Hawk Space still
dry there Fell east coast of both islands getting a
bit dry. Now, what are we got coming for those people?

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Well, to be honest with you, over the next week
and a half we're going to be seeing the spring
Westerly's return to New Zealand some very large storms south
of the country. So while we've had a taste of
some Lamina conditions, at the north. We're back to the
wind as we go through this week and next week,
so it's going to be warm and hot for some
eastern areas. There'll be some cold changes coming to the

(01:07):
very south of the South Island and most of the
wet where there will be along the western side of
New Zealand, so those eastern areas may still continue to
try out over the next couple of weeks. We're really
seeing an early start to summer this year, and if
you go by the flowering of the old mighty Bahutakawa trees,
I mean certainly they're flowering now around the North Island.
So this is an early summer this year. Certainly the

(01:28):
temperatures and mother Nature are showing that.

Speaker 1 (01:30):
Okay, Phil, did you go to Metallica or Tall in
the past week in Auckland.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
I did not. I'm not a big fan of going
out to concerts and stuff. Not really my things.

Speaker 1 (01:39):
You're turning into a hermit in your old age.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Mates always are that when I was a teenager.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
I don't believe it, Phil, I don't believe it. Thanks
for your time, as always,
