    Marine Weather Situation and Forecast issued at 1633hrs Monday 08-Dec-2025 by MetService

    Situation:
    A ridge persists over the North Island. A couple of fronts move north over the South Island and weaken today. Another front approaches the far south of the South Island from the south Tasman Sea late tomorrow. A front moves slowly northwards over the South Island on Wednesday and weakens, while, another front, which is followed by a change to strong southwesterlies, brings areas of rain to the southern and eastern South Island on Thursday. Meanwhile, a weak ridge of high pressure persists over the North Island, keeping a subtropical low pressure system to the northeast of the North Island at arm's length. A strong southwesterly flow spreads northwards over New Zealand on Friday.
