Mostly sunny weather with some afternoon cloud about inland hills and ranges, some cloud in the northeast though (Gisborne, East Cape, Coromandel, Northland) brings a few showers in a southeasterly airflow. Light winds tend onshore this afternoon in the west, northeasterlies down along the east coast.
