Temperatures across New Zealand have climbed into the mid to late teens in many regions as mostly sunny weather remains in place.

A few harmless clouds can be seen around the nation, mostly near coastal areas and Waikato but no rain or showers are in the picture today.

Dunedin is the warmest centre this hour on 19 degrees with a number of other regions across the country sitting on 18

Christchurch as slightly cool easterly and 15 degrees but Wellington’s southerly means the city only has 14 degrees this hour.

Tauranga has 17 with Hamilton and Auckland both on 18 degrees.
