Cloudier weather is moving in to western New Zealand but it’s still sunny inland and towards the east, where it is also warmer than average by day.

NZ still has cool nights though, cooler than average for many in the North Island and eastern South Island – at least for the next couple more days. Warmer weather arrives this Friday and long weekend.

Wednesday this week looks to be the most unsettled with windier SWers and showers returning to the south west corner of the South Island.
