The weather has dampened Victoria University's graduation ceremony today, with rain causing its street parade to be cancelled.
Rain and hail was forecast for Wellington today, with a current temperature of 10 degrees accompanied by strong, cold southerlies.
Graduands were due to depart from the Government Buildings Historic Reserve at noon for the traditional march to Civic Square, but they will now go straight to the ceremony.
The faculties of Architecture and Design, Commerce and Administration, Engineering, Law and Science will hold its graduation at the Michael Fowler Centre at 1pm.
Victoria University communications manager Shelley Cartwright said it was a shame they were forced to cancel the parade but those graduating this afternoon or tonight were welcome to join in tomorrow's Graduation Parade, if it goes ahead.
They would still have to return their gowns and pick up new ones in the morning, she said.
Graduation this year will be Victoria University's biggest ever, with 2118 graduands capped in five ceremonies.
They include graduands from 88 different degrees, diplomas and certificates, including 32 PhD graduands.
