However, Shiviti said a front has been moving up the North Island since yesterday and is expected to hit northern areas this evening.
“There’s a chance for a shower over Auckland.”
Monday in Auckland should be dry with some cloud and a low possibility of showers in the afternoon.
Tuesday, he told the Herald, was forecast to be similar.
The South Island was also in line for warm weather this Waitangi week, Shiviti said.
“The only difference is that for the central high country – so about the ranges in the Canterbury High Country, stretching to Kahurangi and the Nelson lakes – we have actually observed a trend over the past three days where in the afternoon, we have some afternoon convection.”
This, he said, was mainly concentrated on higher ground and inland.
South Islanders could expect dry conditions on Wednesday and Thursday.
“For the next few days we’re actually expecting typical summer weather, in the way that we’re expecting mostly sunny skies with the odd cloud here and there.
“But [it will be] sunny for the most part with warm temperatures, and of course, it’s likely going to be warmer in the North Island compared to the South Island just because of the geographical location.”
Despite the overall prediction of sunshine, Shiviti warned a front coming in from the bottom of the South Island was scheduled to hit from the early hours on Thursday and gradually move up the island.
