On Tuesday, much of the country is covered in high pressure, that means sunny for some but cloudy and drizzly for others.

We have a few features about the place – the main one off the east coast of the South Island.

Conditions are mainly settled, but many regions will see areas of cloud – especially in the morning and then towards late afternoon and into evening.

There may be a light drizzle patch or two for some inland South Island areas in the late afternoon too, mainly Marlborough, Canterbury and Otago.
And there is also a chance of a few isolated showers later on, about the ranges of Gisborne and Northland too.
