Southerly winds along our eastern coastlines spells a coolish week with a couple of fronts working up the country.

The most significant one appears to be midweek delivering a burst of showers for many and cool blustery sou’ west winds for a period of time.The west and north of the country should see the most settled conditions but a little moisture is possible in western areas later on Wednesday or early Thursday.

Looking at the weekend, overall it was quite sunny with little humidity although cool winds kept a lid on the temperature in eastern and central areas of the North Island. It was a little warmer than expected over southern and inland areas of the mainland but this week the cooler winds at times may have an impact on daytime temperatures.

A low near New Caledonia is slowly drifting south and may have an impact to some degree on northern New Zealand further down the track and we’ll be keeping a lose eye on any developments
