Thursday morning sees temperatures around the country start off in a similar manner to the beginning of the week – that is, high in the north, lower in the south.

Most regions should get into or near double digits during the morning, with just a few areas (the dark blue on the map) staying under 10 until closer to midday.

Once again it’s the far north and the northeast of the North Island that look like getting the mildest start to the day.
