Kia ora and morena and welcome to Sunday. It's the last day of May and already a warm start to winter on June 1. It's also the last day of NZ Music Month.

There's still an unsettled outlook this long weekend and remember to wear an extra layer today as it becomes cloudy with rain at times from this evening. Easterlies will be strengthening, and we are expecting a high of 17 degrees and an overnight low of 14 degrees. Sunset is at 5.06pm.

An area of low pressure from the north Tasman Sea is forecast to move southeastwards across the North Island this long weekend, bringing periods of rain or showers to northern and central New Zealand.
