Not a lot of change in the forecast today but another temperature drop for Southland (sorry!) and coastal Otago as airflows from off the Southern Ocean move in.

The heat continues again for much of the North Island (especially eastern, northern and inland areas as we saw on Waitangi Day) but cloudier weather in the South Island may lower temperatures a few to several degrees. Yesterday some areas were in the upper 30s – today mid to upper 20s may be more likely in those same areas, although over 30 is still possible, perhaps most likely Marlborough.

High pressure isn’t quite covering all the country – we said last week it’s like the high pressure belt from south of Australia (and also east of NZ) is a single duvet for a queen size bed, which is why we’re seeing some cloud and lower temps around the edges.

Wet weather today are most likely in Southland, Fiordland and south Westland.
