Yesterday the Wellington City forecast was for strong northerlies and then southerlies in the evening. The strong northerlies didn't seem too strong to me. The latest MetService forecast has light northerlies, 13C and rain stopping by 4PM. Not bad conditions if the pitch drains.
I hope it's not pouring down come kick off. Absolutely bucketing down here in New Plymouth so hopefully it won't make it into Wellington until later on in the evening. Would probably hinder our chances of getting a decent walk up crowd.
