New Year s Day in Hawke s Bay is set to be fine, but showers and possibly thundery weather will move in on Sunday.
MetService meteorologist Lewis Ferris said the cooler than usual temperatures the Bay is currently experiencing are due to southerly wind flow.
This wind will move away and New Year s Day and Saturday will be fairly fine but with high cloud.
In the afternoon of New Year s Day, cooler northeasterlies coming off the water will develop, staying around until Monday.
