It might be feeling more balmy and spring-like than usual, but things are about to get pretty chilly in the South by the week’s end. Dunedin was the hottest place to be yesterday, recording the highest temperature on Sunday of 19.8degC, according to official records. Daytime highs were expected to drop by a few to several degrees in many regions. The forecaster warned farmers that for newborn livestock this storm was definitely worth monitoring due to wind chill. The cold snap was expected to be short-lived, with more mild winds set to return from Wednesday next week.
