These are your minimum temperatures since midnight. It's been a warm night, with only a few places dipping below 10 degrees!

It's looking to be a muggy day for the North Island, with humid northerlies bringing rain for most, as well as possible ern and central parts.

In the South Island, drizzly conditions will be the theme today in eastern areas. The place to be is the West Coast, with a sunny ☀️ and warm day ahead!
