During the afternoon, winds will be light over much of the country allowing wind convergences to form producing cloud and showers. Combined with the cool temperatures in the upper atmosphere, there is a low risk of thunderstorms developing over much of the North Island and the west of the South Island.

In the east from Gisborne to Hawkes Bay, there is a moderate risk of thunderstorms during the period, bringing localised heavy rain with intensities of 15 to 25mm per hour and small hail, and a moderate risk of SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS, producing localised downpours of 25 to 40mm per hour.

About inland areas of Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Waitomo, Coromandel Peninsula, Bay of Plenty and also Taupo, Taihape and Taumarunui, there is a moderate risk of thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening, bringing localised heavy rain with intensities of 10 to 25mm per hour and small hail. In this area a few storms may be slow moving, with a low risk of SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS producing localised downpours of 25 to 40mm/hr.

There is also a moderate risk of thunderstorms during the afternoon and evening about inland areas of Buller and the Canterbury High Country north of the Mackenzie Basin. If these thunderstorms occur they may be accompanied by localised heavy rain with intensities of 10 to 25mm per hour. A less risk extends over the Mackenzie Basin.

No thunderstorms or severe convection expected over the remainder of New Zealand.
