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.
Need a decorative substitute for coconut. You know those cakes in the shape of lambs that appear at Easter? Well, I bought a mold last year when they were on sale after the holiday, and it's getting close to the time when I'll be using it. Most of the cakes I've seen have been covered in white coconut, to simulate the wool. But I hate coconut. Despise.
