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.
Confidence votes 8.4K. A substitute for dried/dessicated shredded/flaked coconut will depend on the recipe. Most use it for flavour and texture. In some recipes, rolled oats or wheatgerm could be the subsitute, but be aware that this will give a very different flavour, and is not suitable for some recipes.
If your recipe calls for this spice and do not have it, then you can try its substitution or alternative. Whenever substituting, you must realize that the flavor and may be taste will not be as originally intended in the recipe. Nutmeg is the perfect substitute for mace. You can also try cinnamon or ginger.
