An anticyclone gains more ground over New Zealand today with a southeasterly airflow dying away for the North Island.

Dry for most today apart from a few clearing morning showers about Gisborne / East Cape and eastern Northland.

Temperatures reach into the low to mid twenties for most, perhaps late twenties for some inland areas. Some coastal spots may not escape the high teens.

Winds are light for most, southeasterlies about East Cape and eastern Northland ease.
