Tuesday is heating up, as a few regions look like breaking into the high 20s, temperature-wise.

There’s also the risk of a few late afternoon or evening isolated showers for inland parts of both islands, but they aren’t looking too serious.

Main Centres

Auckland

Sunny once again with light northeasterlies, and temperatures in the late 20s – a corker summer day.

Wellington

Morning cloud clears to be mostly fine for the rest of the day, along with northwest breezes and temperatures in the mid 20s again.

Christchurch

Sunny in Christchurch too, with light winds and a high in the mid 20s – another beaut.
