An anticyclone brings mainly settled weather today however a weak front moving into the lower South Island brings in a cool change with some cloud and a few showers, this change reaches into Canterbury late afternoon / evening.

Most regions are dry today, a few showers move into the lower South Island around midday then into Canterbury this evening (perhaps more in the form of drizzle for Canterbury).

Temperatures reach into the low to mid twenties for many but about the far south it will cool down as a southwest change moves through.

No strong winds today, southwesterlies will freshen a little about eastern coastal areas as a cool change moves through.
