It’s looking mostly calm and settled across New Zealand on Wednesday, with a large high pressure system in place overhead.

It has been a frosty start for many though – with several places in the negatives to start the day with a shiver!

Temperatures shortly before sunrise…

• Taumarunui: -4.2C (feels like -6!)
• Taupo: -3.3C
• Wellington: 4.1C
• Gore: 1.2C
• Alexandra: -1.8C
• Queenstown: -2.7

The real action starts tomorrow – as much of the South Island is in for some localised snowfall – watch this space for more info!
