New years eve was a little unsettled for some but thankfully today we are seeing more influence from a high pressure system in the Tasman Sea to kick off 2024. A bit of a cold start for the South Island especially alpine areas.

A front clears this morning away to the northeast of the North Island meanwhile a trough in behind delivers a few final showers to the lower North Island before departing by midday.

Sun increases for most, the West Coast may continue to see a shower or two till mid or late afternoon.

The Bay Of Plenty scores the warmest afternoon temperatures reaching into the mid twenties. An east to northeasterly wind freshens for Canterbury this afternoon.
