About 130 customers were without power in Northeast Valley after a tree brought down lines in Watts Rd yesterday morning.
Firefighters in Dunedin were also kept busy attending several minor wind-related jobs in the city.
In central Dunedin, northerly gusts of about 61kmh were recorded about 1pm.
The winds dissipated by late yesterday, but southerlies were expected to arrive this morning, creating a brisk start to the day.
An overnight low of 4degC was forecast for Dunedin and frosts and snow down to 400m were possible for Otago by midweek, Mr Adams said.
Delta marketing and communications manager Gary Johnson said power was restored to affected customers in Northeast Valley by late afternoon.
Some customers on Otago Peninsula also briefly lost power when winds downed high-voltage lines about 9.30am.
Power was restored to all by about 11.30am and only a handful were without power for the two-hour duration, Mr Johnson said.
He reminded people to contact Delta if they saw issues with power lines arising from winds.
"If people see trees in lines, do not attempt to clear them. Call us and we will sort it out," he said.
"People should treat all lines as live."
A Fire Service spokeswoman said firefighters were called to several wind-related jobs in Dunedin, although "nothing of note".
Most issues affecting lines involved telephone lines rather than power lines, she said.
A police spokeswoman said police had received reports of tree branches falling in the winds, but there were no reports of any significant damage.
Mr Adams said despite the weekend’s wild and changeable weather, a slightly warmer and drier start was predicted for the start of spring.
Slightly above average temperatures and slightly lower than average rainfall was forecast for September, he said.
● Hundreds of people were left without electricity for hours after a "huge bang" that cut power to homes across St Clair yesterday.
A Delta spokesman said the outage occurred shortly before 4pm, cutting power to about 450 homes until the supply was restored about 7pm.
The cause was yet to be confirmed, but one St Clair resident said she heard rolling thunder and then a big bang.
"It just went ‘bang’, and then the power went off."
