A colder south to south-east flow will keep clouds and showers moving into some eastern parts of the North Island over the next several days, although inland areas may be sunnier and drier – and certainly those west of the main ranges have clearer skies.

The South Island is the most settled with high pressure moving in over the coming days, with more frosts and fog patches and mainly dry weather.

There is little change to the forecast over the next several days but some areas may notice and improvement while others may get more cloud going into next week.
