The sunny, clear days and cold nights that have been covering most of New Zealand for the past few days look set to continue.
The extreme wet and windy weather New Zealand experienced over the past month seems to have eased off with only cold and single-digit weather plaguing theSouth Island.
Parts of the South Island have been seeing full frosts in southern parts, with the coldest temperature recorded overnight yesterday being -10 in Tara Hills.
Areas of fog persisted in the central valleys of Central Otago with Alexandria hitting 0 during the day.
Meanwhile, Kawerau on the East Coast of the North Island reached a balmy 18.
However, the rain didn’t let off in some parts of the country with Te Puia Springs on the East Coast experiencing 32mm of rain over the past few days.
Auckland experienced its first dry week since March.

MetService meteorologist Gerard Bellan said the fine dry spells will keep going for the rest of the week thanks to a ridge of high pressure moving over the country.
