South Auckland, Bombay is the perfect place to be atm. To much cloudy stuff with that trough over the central Waikato to the CNI which is hampering heating.

MetService have a moderate risk for eastern inland areas of the SI and much of western inland areas of the NI today.

The low cloud that was about first thing is clearing away which is helping to create the warmth needed
