Parts of the North Island are waking to freezing temperatures this morning - but summer-like temperatures are on the way.
Waiouru was the coldest spot in the country, plummeting to -5.1C before 6.30am, MetService meteorologist Clare O’Connor said.
Taupō was sitting at -3.5C, while Taumarunui and Wainuiomata were both shivering at -1.8C.
Temperatures had dropped around 5-6am, with the end of the night usually the coldest time.
Despite the bone-chilling temperatures, the next four days are looking promising with up to a 10C lift in average temperatures, according to Niwa.
