With a northwesterly airflow building over the country ahead of a front to the southwest, there are likely to be warm temperatures for the east coasts of New Zealand today. The likely candidates for the warmest temperatures will be Canterbury, Marlborough and Wairarapa.

Hawkes Bay and Gisborne will be warm also however the winds will tend northeast for a bit longer during the afternoon preventing warmer northwesterlies tell later in the evening. Otago at the other end is likely to get northwesterly winds however some developing high cloud will hinder temperatures reaching their full potential.

So to be more specific Canterbury and Marlborough are most likely to see high’s ranging from 24 to 26 degrees. You never quite know with northwesterly winds though, there could perhaps be a brief moment where temperatures peak at 27 or even 28 degrees so something to take note of. Wairarapa will reach around 24 degrees.

For the Upper North Island conditions are likely to be rather nice today also, maybe not as warm but still up around 20 to 23 degrees with mostly sunny skies so nothing to sneeze at.
