A cold front due to move northwards over the South Island today is a little slower in coming up then it was looking yesterday or the day before, but this brings the benefit of warmer temperatures for a little longer. But make no mistake it will become colder. Another warmer day with Canterbury likely to get into the late teens, perhaps even early twenties again. The coolest highs today will be about Southland where a southwest change hits by midday.

Still warmer than average overnight tonight for the North Island for most regions. The South Island as you can see below is starting to cool down as conditions become unsettled.
