With the settled weather this week, we’ve been on the lookout for cool clouds. ☁️👀 Here’s a stunning 📸 of lenticular (aka mountain wave) clouds over Wellington Harbour. 💙 💬👇 Feel free to share your favourite cloud pics in the comments below.

Morning Aotearoa! 👀Looks like we’ve got a dirty high over the country today😏 🌤️It’s not quite the clear skies you may have thought of when you heard the term “high”, however a setup like this is not uncommon. While standard high-pressure systems bring sinking air 💨⬇️ that clears out clouds, a dirty high traps moisture 💧leaving us with plenty of cloud cover 🌥️. Nonetheless, many spots will have woken up to a sunny morning as seen in the bird’s eye view satellite image below. ☀️ 🔎For a more detailed forecast of your area, check out metservice.com

The country is looking fiiiinnee today! 😎 🛰️🌞The satellite image shows clear skies for most of us, with a little cloud skirting around the southern and western coasts. 🌥️ It’s a bright and sunny start to the week, perfect weather to get outside and soak up some sunshine! 🌻🕶️ Also… is it swimming weather yet?? 👀🌊 To check out how the week looks for you, head to metservice.com
