Long weekenders rejoice - the sun is set to continue for the majority of the country over Labour Weekend.
Much of New Zealand was bathed in sunshine yesterday.
And MetService forecaster Erik Brenstrum said that perfect spring weather was set to continue in most areas today, with clear skies andwarm temperatures forecast.
He said beachgoers should make sure they slip, slop and slap.
"It's the time of year you can get caught off guard," he said.
WeatherWatch analyst Aaron Wilkinson said the forecast for most of the North Island looked "pretty damn good".
"It's pretty much sunny everywhere. The whole of the western side is looking good apart from north of Lake Taupo and the western Bay of Plenty," he said.
Rain in the central North Island and Gisborne would stick for much of today but should "slowly fade" during the evening.
