The skies aren’t perfectly clear over some parts of New Zealand today as a front approaches from the south west. 

The front – which is rapidly weakening – will bring a few showers to Southland later today.  High cloud can be seen across the South Island today ahead of the front while clouds in the eastern Tasman Sea push in to the west and north of the North Island.

Fog patches around Waikato and Auckland have also added to the cloudier skies. 

But despite the cloudy patches the weather will remain dry (and warm) across most of New Zealand today.

Sunny weather is expected tomorrow across the nation with sunny weather prevailing for next week too.
