With a large high in control of our weather at the moment New Zealanders can expect mostly settled weather to continue. The cool nights and warm days will produce some cloudy periods especially morning and night.  No sign yet of our tropical low coming in this weekend – but by Thursday or Friday we expect easterlies to develop and strengthen in the north with clouds thickening by late Friday.
