A weather change is on the way. A trough of low pressure over the Tasman sea moves southeastwards across Aotearoa New Zealand this weekend. Warm, humid air will be pulled south, making for some uncomfortable nights. Here are today's dawn temperatures and the weekend minima. ^AB pic.twitter.com/eoeN1nV8Bt

Meanwhile, some Christchurch motorists awoke to a layer of fog in the garden city on Thursday. This typically happens when air over a relatively warm sea moves over cold land during the night.

Temperatures got to a cool 8 deg C last night.
