Friday’s national forecast

> From the WeatherWatch archives

Not long after one low pressure system has gone, another moves into the Tasman Sea today – and this time it’s fairly deep. We have a gap between systems however and that comes in the form of a drier day today. Eastern regions of borth islands may get quite warm due to a northerly airflow.

Auckland & Northland

Sunny spells and north to northwest breezes, cloud thickens in the
evening.

Highs: 24-25

Central North Island, Waikato & Bay Of
Plenty

Sunny spells about the Bay Of Plenty, chance of a shower around midday.
Northerly breezes. The odd morning shower clears about the Waikato and Central
North Island too however expect a few sunny spells in the afternoon. Cloud
thickens for most again later in the evening.

Highs: 24-25

Eastern North Island

Mostly sunny with northerly breezes, some high cloud develops later in the
evening. Warm temperatures.

Highs: 27-29
