If you’ve been waiting for the right day to mow the lawns, wash the windows, weed your garden or go for a picnic lunch, for the majority of the country, this is the day to do it.

The weather’s set to be nice and settled with light winds and sunny and cloudy periods for most of New Zealand.

If you’re in the top of the North Island expect to see some showers later on in the afternoon.  And if you’re down South a southerly change will also bring showers that will gradually move up the island.
