Auckland, Hamilton below zero this morning.

Temperatures in the upper North Island have been colder than in many South Island areas this morning.

It was minus three in Auckland and minus four in Hamilton. Those temperatures are the coldest of the year so far, and far colder than overnight temperatures in the South Island which are mainly in the positive range.

The weather analyst says, it is very strange to see the normal temperature ranges throughout the country, reversed.

"That's basically due to the fact that the cold air left over from the Antarctic blast last weekend still remains across Northern New Zealand, while the rest of the country has seen a bit of a change overnight with clouds and a slight breeze developing ahead of another cold snap."
