A weak front moved over the South Island last night and passes out to the east of the country today followed by an anticyclone in behind. The weather for the most part is mainly settled, showers for the West Coast clear this morning then sun breaks through.

The North Island has a good day, a few clouds perhaps in the west, temperatures will be in the mid to late twenties for many but could even crack 30 for Waikato through to inland Bay Of Plenty.

Some cloud will stick to coastal Otago then later on spreads north into Canterbury, east to northeasterly winds will freshen in the east this afternoon north of Otago Peninsula through to North Canterbury. Temperatures are warm for the interior of the South Island reaching into the late twenties.

Very hot temperatures return in the east this weekend, finally on Monday relief is on the way.
