There’s a mixed bag of weather over New Zealand this afternoon as the lacklustre conditions continue.

In the east of the North Island conditions have finally dried out but it’s gloomy and cold from northern Hawkes Bay northwards.

In the South Island’s east coast cloud has moved in but a nor’wester has seen Oamaru jump to 15 degrees this hour.  Further north Akaroa has just 7 while Kaikoura has 9.  Christchurch and further north Wellington have 11.

Further across the North Island and Hastings has 14 but Napier just 11.  Tauranga also has 14 with Whakatane on 15.  This time last week Whakatane made it to 18 degrees.  The sunny, warmer, weather continues in the Bay of Plenty.

Auckland has hit 13 this hour but it’s Kaikohe that has taken the hot spot with 18 this hour.  A freak localised temperature considering neighbouring regions are only on 14 degrees.

Taranaki, Wanganui and Manawatu are mostly hovering around 12 degrees.
