Conditions are mainly settled around New Zealand today thanks to a large high pressure system which is centred just out to the east.

Most regions are dry, we have a few showers for the eastern North Island through and one or two may move into Coromandel, Great Barrier Island and perhaps Auckland this afternoon.

East to northeasterly winds freshen this afternoon about Canterbury bringing a slight chill to the air.
