An anticyclone moves over most of New Zealand on Wednesday coming in from the Tasman Sea.

Most of the North Island is fairly settled on Wednesday, however expect a few morning showers in the east to clear then afternoon sun breaks through, showers may linger about Gisborne till evening. The Bay Of Plenty sees a few light showers develop in the evening.

For the South Island, expect a few showers about South Westland, a shower or two makes it a little further northwards at times and into Southland now and then. Mostly sunny conditions elsewhere.
