Conditions are quite settled over the country today thanks to a large high pressure zone covering New Zealand. Not cloud free though as there are a few weak features about, troughs and a front.

Much of the North Island has a mix of sun and cloud, some spots may be cloudier than others. A shower or two can be expected in the west (Taranaki and western Waikato especially). East Cape looks to see a few showers then later this afternoon a few showers may affect Hawkes Bay and Gisborne. Winds are mostly light tending onshore this afternoon. Temperatures will be in the low to mid twenties.

Quite a bit of cloud for the east of the South Island today with any morning showers clearing, but hopefully sun breaks through this afternoon. There is the low risk of an isolated shower about some inland hills and ranges later this afternoon but it should be mainly dry overall. The West Coast is sunnier and there will be some high cloud. Winds are light this morning but tending onshore this afternoon much like the North Island, east to northeasterly winds freshen up for Canterbury as usual especially about the coast. Temperatures will be warmest about inland areas, Central Otago and Reefton reach into the mid twenties.

A front moves into the far south tomorrow evening bringing some rain.
