Weather Warnings
warning WEATHER STATION WARNING: Low temperatures has been detected.
Low temperatures may cause water to freeze causing ice on roads and pavements. Take extra care when heading out by wearing extra layers of clothing and good footwear. Frosts are also likely during cold temperatures and clear nights.

This warning has been generated by our weather station based upon preset values, not from official MetService.

Caution WEATHER STATION CAUTION: FROST or heavy DEW warning conditions have been met
Condensation and small water drops form on grass and other objects near the ground when the temperature has fallen to the dew point. This can turn into frost (ice crystals) when temperature is below freezing. This can cause a slipping hazard on some surfaces.

This warning has been generated by our weather station based upon preset values, not from official MetService.
