Mostly dry weather is dominating New Zealand this morning. 

Apart from some heavy showers around the Taranaki, Wanganui and Manawatu regions and some showers about Southland and Otago most other centres are dry.

The dry spell is simply a ‘breather’ between fronts.  The low, that fills much of the Tasman Sea, has had up to a dozen fronts very slowly circling around it.  It’s making it difficult to accurately pinpoint the timing of rain bands.

Our current predictions show another front moving into western parts of the North Island tonight – most likely affecting Taranaki and Northland with showers possible in between.  Rain is also likely to move back in to the Nelson region.

A few thunderstorms have been detected around Taranaki today with a few thousand detected out to sea.

While it’s dry in Auckland low cloud is covering a number of high rise buildings in the city centre.
