WeatherWatch advises that an area of low pressure will be rolling over the top of the North Island today away to the east.

'With it comes some rain for northern Northland and showers for northeastern parts of the North Island,” says a WeatherWatch spokesperson.

'Most of the South Island is dry but about the southwestern corner there is some rain or showers.”


Cloudy areas are expected for Waikato and Bay Of Plenty, perhaps a light shower mainly in the morning, and some sun breaking through in the afternoon.

'Northland can expect a mostly cloudy day with showers, northern Northland sees some rain,” says a WeatherWatch spokesperson.

'Auckland may be mainly dry with just high cloud, still the risk of a shower though especially afternoon. Breezy east to northeasterly winds tend southeast later in the day or overnight.”
