Some parts of the country will endure uncomfortable and humid nights this week as temperatures rise to 26 degrees Celsius.
MetService meteorologist Andy Best explained that the “uncomfortably muggy” conditions will set in from Tuesday night through the long weekend.
“It may not be so bad on Sunday and Monday, but certainly the nights will be particularly uncomfortable,” he said.
The central and upper parts of the North Island, such as Taihape, Taranaki, Bay of Plenty and Northland, are prepared to withstand the brunt of the humidity, while the rest of the country will be affected by warm and relatively dry conditions. .

High temperatures are expected to peak on Sunday.
“Sunday seems to be the hottest day,” Best said. Napier and Hastings will be two of the warmest places in the country on Sunday at 26 degrees Celsius, while Thames and Whangārei will hit 23 ° C.
Throughout the week and over the weekend, Auckland will hover around 20 ° C, Wellington will hover between 16 ° C and 17 ° C, and Christchurch will fluctuate between 17 ° C and 26 ° C.
The eastern parts of the South Island can expect relatively warm conditions across the board, Best said. Temperatures in the western parts of the island, however, will be in the mid to high teens.
For two days in a row, nighttime temperatures have not dropped below 0 ° C. Tekapo and Alexandra had some of the coldest conditions Tuesday morning at 1.4C and 1.8C, respectively.
The humid conditions come from an area of low pressure over the Tasman Sea that draws tropical air south, while the warmer temperatures are associated with a stagnant front over the center of the North Island.
Wet weather is also on the cards for some parts of the country through Sunday, at least. Isolated showers of the best forecast for Auckland Thursday through Sunday, and in Wellington on Saturday.
“Most of … the central part of the North Island from Taranaki north should see some rain,” Best said.
