After a bright and sunny start to the new week, Tuesday looks to continue the same pattern, as sun, light breezes and a few patches of drizzle dominate conditions around the country.

In the north, there’s the chance of an isolated shower in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty late in the day, though the rest of the North Island looks reasonably clear and settled – though light cloud will pass over pretty much everyone at some stage.

Morning cloud and some drizzle in Canterbury will be the only bleak spot in the South Island, as fine and mostly clear conditions prevail once again for pretty much everyone in the island.
