Literally split the North Island in half horizontally and same goes for the South Island. For the North Island it would be Lake Taupo as the dividing point (the east coast up through to Gisborne is included in the forecast for the lower North Island however). In the South Island it would be Banks Peninsula and make a line horizontally at that point.

That’s a bit too ‘ruffly’ for me. It would make forecast verfication rather fluid due to the subjectivity.

Have taken out the words ruffly, hopefully that works for you better.
