Get out your jandals and sunglasses because a high pressure system is bringing warm spring weather to Northland, with the temperature set to soar to a summer-like 25C.
Today is the first day of spring and the high pressure means happy weather, according to one weather expert.
National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research meteorologist Ben Noll said subtropical winds flowing south from near New Caledonia this week will at times make it feel more like November or December.
"The high brings happy weather," Mr Noll said. The strong, high pressure was forecast to pass over the north and then move northeast, drawing warmth southward.
"This pattern may repeat several times during the first half of September. As a result, a couple of rounds of record-breaking maximum and minimum temperatures are possible," Mr Noll said.
