Hazy skies caused by the tragic Australian bush fires are set to linger this weekend.
Northwesterly winds have blown a hazy plume of smoke across the Tasman Sea, and while it has mostly affected the South Island in recent weeks, it has moved up the country.
The "robust plume" is expected to head to the South Island late on Saturday.
The haze has been causing a yellowish-orange, hue at sunset, making for some sweet sunset photos. Share your photos in the comments!

Dryer for pickup

Mayur from Howick

Hi, I have placed a dryer outside 164 ridge road, free for pickup. It stops intermittently. Not sure, what's wrong with it. Someone with a bit of knowledge about these should be able to fix. Or use for parts.

Cheers,

Mayur
