Colder southerlies have been blowing through some parts of the country, while air temperatures have been falling almost everywhere – with the exception of the far north!

A low pressure system sits off to the east of New Zealand, which brings rain or shower activity to some very dry eastern areas – though it’s looking dry in most places through the latter part of the week.

As we head towards the weekend, there’s more dry weather – though another southerly weather system starts to move in, bringing some more cloud and rain in places – check out the rest of your weather with Philip Duncan, below.
