NZHerald and WeatherWatch.co.nz team up to bring you the latest weather forecast for the country this week – and it’s looking mostly settled with sunny skies for most although some anticyclonic gloom could trap a bit of cloud and the odd very isolated light shower/drizzle patch in the west.

By the weekend a south west change moves in with showers in the west and south of both islands.
