Tokoroa - 8:30am -

A fine clear morning, albeit with some pastel high level haze with some thin strip cumulus in rows as a bright contrast.
An overnight low of 8.9ºC and has risen now to 10.3ºC. 
A coolish 10-25km/hr sou-easterly blows outside...
Skies mostly clear ... blue - blue...  Should be another nice Indian Summer day... :)
