Friday afternoon is warmer than most of the rest of the week overall around the country, but there’s still a good spread of temperatures around New Zealand.

Most areas should get into the 20s at some point during the afternoon, with the exception of the lower South Island regions.

There is still plenty of rain and showers about through the day though, so it may well continue warm and humid in placed.
