Conditions are mainly settled today due to New Zealand lying between two systems, a departing low to the northeast and a front approaching from the west in the Tasman Sea.

Most regions are dry today but we do see a few remaining showers for the eastern North Island clearing this evening, also some rain moves into Fiordland.
