All of these regions have a low chance of rain (ie, less than 10%). The risk of rain comes from afternoon cloud build ups, mainly near the ranges, producing some isolated downpours in the late afternoon or early evening. There's also a low chance of a shower either morning or late night in Southland.

Coconut oil can be used in both cooking and baking, with both sweet and savory foods. Use it to sautÃ© greens and other vegetables, drizzle it over popcorn, or bake with it. I especially love using it when I make granola as well as spicy curries. You can also use it to season cast iron pans and wood cutting boards.
