After a rough start to the week, Thursday will continue in much the same vein as Wednesday – only more settled, as we sit under a large, slow moving high pressure system.

There are a few exceptions however, with Mahia Peninsula northwards in the east looking at a shower, before clearing later on.

Northen parts of Northland may see a shower or two also – from a southeasterly airflow.

It may be frosty to start with too, especially for the usual sheltered inland spots of both islands.
