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.

The one caveat for making coconut butter from scratch: you need a powerful blender or food processor to grind the coconut down. Iâve done it in both and the blender (like a Vitamix or similar) is faster but they each give a good result.
