A ridge is keeping the weather still mainly settled over most of the North Island today. Meanwhile a front moves north over the South Island during the day and onto the lower North Island in the evening, this brings the risk of showers or drizzle patches.

Auckland & Northland

Sunny spells and some cloud with light winds in the morning then afternoon sea breezes. Low risk of a late afternoon shower about Northland.

Highs: 23-26

Central North Island, Waikato & Bay Of Plenty

Mostly sunny weather after morning cloud breaks away, westerly breezes.
Later in the evening or around midnight winds tend southeasterly. The Bay Of
Plenty sees northerlies in the afternoon.

Highs: 23-25

Eastern North Island

Mostly sunny with light winds and afternoon sea breezes, southerlies
freshen in the evening about the Wairarapa bringing some cloud and the odd
shower. The odd shower then moves further north overnight.
