Judging by the various webcams about the place Hanmer has blue sky, Tekapo has blue sky, Castle Hill has blue sky as does Hokitika, Kaikoura a bit grey as is here in CHCH.
Pity I can't find any live webcams over Akaroa way.
I suspect anyone that leaves town on a ride today will have a nice time especially if inland a bit.
Transalp is in bits so I'm heading west up the river again with the WR after lunch.
