An anticyclone lies over New Zealand today bringing mainly settled weather.

"Basically everywhere is dry today, only Fiordland brings the risk of a light shower or drizzle patch," says a WeatherWatch spokesperson.

Temperatures are in the low to mid-twenties for most of today, and highs may reach into the late twenties for the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions.

Winds are mostly light, with afternoon sea breezes. There are east to northeasterly winds about eastern regions which will become breezy this afternoon.
