Temperatures are ranging from low single digits to the upper teens this morning across the nation but not all areas are under blue skies.

Auckland has seen a few showers overnight but still a mild 16 degrees. The warmest centre is Whitianga with 18 and Manapouri in the far south has only mustered 4 degrees.

Temperatures should be near enough to average for the time of year yet again today, with most of the country expecting settled conditions but the upper North island may see a few showers remaining but gradually clearing throughout the day and in the far north this evening.

A change is still on the way later in the week with northerlies ahead of the front and a cooler southerly moving in behind it.
