We have got a lot less cloud cover about the North Island than we did 24 hours ago.  Hamilton, Gisborne and Rotorua all have quite a bit of sunshine this morning.  Auckland has some sunshine mixed in with a fair amount of clouds.

The lower NI, including Wellington, is still bit on the cloudy side.

Many South Island locations are also cloudy including; Greymouth, Nelson and Christchurch.

Some rather breezy conditions were found about many parts of the country.

Temperatures at 10am included 12 at Gore, 15 at Invercargill, 16 at Dunedin, 17 at Christchurch, 18 at Auckland, 20 at Tauranga, 21 at Gisborne and 23 at Hamilton.
