Current meteorological forecasts from agencies including MetService and international models indicate a minimum temperature of 13–14°C for Wellington on October 13, driven by persistent mild northerly airflow, extensive cloud cover, and elevated dew points that limit overnight radiational cooling. Recent observations at Wellington International Airport show temperatures holding in the 13–15°C range through the early morning hours under similar conditions. This positions the 13°C outcome as the market consensus, reflecting aggregated trader assessment of ensemble model agreement and historical analogs for spring conditions in the region. A realistic challenge would require an unexpected wind shift to southerlies or clearer skies enhancing cooling below model guidance, though current pressure gradients make such deviation improbable before resolution.
