The low pressure centre that brought rain to eastern sections of the North Island is on its way out.  However, showers continue to fall about East Cape and Gisborne areas.

Otherwise, it’s a dry and settled day across the country.

Look for plenty of sunshine with a some clouds mixed in as well.  A few locations will likely see a bit more clouds than others.  East Cape, Gisborne, Waikato, coastal sections of Southland and Otago and the West Coast could all see more clouds than sun this afternoon.

Temperatures this afternoon will top out in the upper teens and lower 20’s.

Your Easter Monday forecast is looking pretty dry and settled as well.  A few showers are still possible about Gisborne and East Cape.  A few light showers could also fall on the deep south of the South Island.  The rest of the country should see a nice mix of sun and clouds with highs again in the upper teens and lower 20’s.
