We’ll start with the South Island today.

It will be cloudy on the West Coast with building north to northeasterly winds, showers spreading north during the day and rain in Fiordland from afternoon. Mostly sunny skies about Nelson with building northwesterly winds, some cloud at times. The east should experience fine weather with increasing high cloud and breezy northeasterly winds along the coast, winds will tend more northwesterly inland and perhaps spread to the Otago coast in the afternoon. Northwesterly winds could be strong at times in inland areas at night. In Central Otago showers will start to spill over from the main divide after lunch getting into the likes of Glenorchy then Queenstown and Wanaka by evening. Southland should be dry for most of the day with northwesterlies and high cloud, perhaps some showers in the far west of the district. High’s of around 12 to 13 degrees in most areas, if that northwest arrives on the Otago coastline in the afternoon high’s could push up into the mid teens there.

Northland should receive mostly sunny weather today with the odd bit of cloud and light winds, high’s in the mid teens once again. South of Northland skies are looking to be quite cloudy with light winds although sunny breaks may develop in the afternoon mainly inland. Perhaps a few light showers in coastal areas from Taranaki through to Auckland, also about Gisborne. There is a low risk of a morning shower also in the Bay of Plenty. Hawkes Bay should get some morning cloud but sunnier breaks into the afternoon. The Manawatu, Wairarapa and Wellington areas are looking to get mostly sunny weather with a northwesterly airflow building by evening. Apart from Northland, high’s of 12 to 13 degrees are expected in most places.

The North Island is still mainly trapped under anticyclonic gloom with light winds, a few showers are affecting coastal areas mainly around northern Taranaki. South of Hawkes Bay on the east coast the weather looks quite sunny with highs around 13 to 14 degrees currently and light winds.

The western coastline of Manawatu and Wellington is getting some cloud about now which is a little earlier then I expected but shows the north to northwesterly airflow is picking up in the area. Under the cloudy gloom high’s appear to be around 11 or 12 degrees although currently it is 14 in Auckland and 15 degrees in the sunnier parts of Northland.

The South Island looks to be running to schedule. Cloudy on the West Coast with showers moving in and northeasterly breezes, temperatures currently around 10 degrees in Greymouth and Hokitika.

High cloud is increasing along the east coast with light northeasterly breezes on the coast, winds tending warmer northwesterly inland. Where the northwesterly breeze or influence if you like hasn’t reached yet the temperature is actually quite cool as the thick high cloud isn’t letting the sun in while some other areas where the breeze has reached are sitting on 14 to 15 degrees right now, it does show the fickle nature of forecasting temperatures at times. This may be the case around Dunedin at the moment where some places are quite cool while others that have a NW breeze the temperature is higher.

Southland looks to be breaking into some sunnier weather at the moment coming in from the west as high cloud pushes out of the way, should lead to a nice rest of the day down there while the sun is out with northwesterly breezes, currently it is sitting on 14 in Invercargill.
