We’re still under that large anticyclone that came in from the Tasman Sea and settled everything right down – meaning more sun for most on Friday….most but not all.

There will be morning cloud in some places – though this should break away into a sunny afternoon for almost the whole country.  Some coastal areas – like Auckland – may again see some anticyclonic gloom.

Some fog patches are also possible in the calmness of Friday morning.

The exceptions to this are the East Coast of the North Island – which won’t see cloud until the afternoon, and the West Coast of the South Island – for which cloud will stick around all day.
