A southwesterly airflow eases over New Zealand on Thursday while a ridge moves in spreading out from an anticyclone in the Tasman Sea.
RainWatch is a series during the weekdays, giving a snapshot about where around New Zealand areas of precipitation may affect your day.
For the North Island there is just the chance of a clearing shower this morning about Wairarapa, also perhaps the slight chance of a shower about the Manawatu for a time early afternoon. It is looking mainly dry otherwise.
About the South Island a few showers clear Banks Peninsula by midday. Southland and coastal Otago may see a light shower or two also, once again mainly this morning although there is the low risk of a straggler hanging around into the afternoon.

Looking fairly dry up until atleast the 21st so one could summise this January is looking fairly dry. Although signs a low on the 15th may bring some rain to the upper North Island, that is a while away though so no getting hopes up just yet.
