Feargal O'Donoghue and Aoife MacSweeney brave the cold southern water at St Kilda Beach on King's Birthday yesterday.
People wanting to enjoy a brisk dip at the beach should head out today as the temperature would take a significant plunge later this week, a Metservice meteorologist said.
Dunedin could expect a fine day today with some passing cloud overhead, but the weather would take a turn tomorrow.
"It will start to get wet from about late morning then it's expected to set in there," he said.
The rain clouds would clear on Thursday to a partly cloudy day, before the rain returned for Friday and the weekend.
"I must mention the drop in temperature — we're expecting temperature to drop in the South Island ... Dunedin, to be specific, will be dropping to about 7°[C] on Friday and Saturday."
