Christmas Day is delivering fine weather and sunshine in the north and promises a clear afternoon for much of the country except the far south.
Aucklanders woke up to a still, clear morning with the good weather not expected to pack up until later today.
Many parts of the country were enjoying a similar fine day interrupted with isolated showers, especially in central and western areas.
"Auckland should be pretty good for most of the day, with long fine spells and a few showers at night," said a MetService spokesman.
"Wellington should miss most of the wet weather with a few showers and some clouds," he said.
