Sunny weather is slowly spreading across the country – but it will be short lived says Philip Duncan in today’s nzherald.co.nz weather video.

While some areas still have cold, wintry, conditions today – the sun is moving in and the showers clearing.

Thursday and Friday look settled, sunnier, warmer and drier for just about every region in New Zealand – but on Friday that starts to change on the West Coast – with a large low moving in for Saturday for most places.
