Tonight will be a cooler night nationwide with most regions leaning a little colder than average. As we head into Sunday temperatures do lift up and the day should be warmer than Saturday was in many places.

It’s not an overly hot day anywhere but those in Southland and Otago should especially enjoy the bounce back in warmth.

As we head into Sunday night windier westerlies in the South Island should help lift overnight temperatures up further while some parts of Northland and northern Hawke’s Bay/Gisborne may lean a little cooler than usual.
