“It looks like much of the north of the North Island will be in the low 20s .”

The South Island will have a nice morning with a few patches of cloud; however, a front is forecast to move in from the Tasman Sea in the evening.
“We’re expecting clouds throughout the day and showers to start picking up, especially in the north of the South Island in the evening.”
