Tomorrow is Halloween and while New Zealand isn’t the best place to celebrate the scary day (due to it staying sunny well into the evening) the forecast certainly looks like a mixed bag of weather, with howling winds, scary sunlight and creepy clouds.

The roughest weather will be in central New Zealand where strong to possibly gale force winds will blow through Wellington.  Along with the strong winds will be rain, which will clear into the evening.

Christchurch is likely to see a southerly change with a few heavy showers while Dunedin will have similar weather arriving a few hours earlier, in the afternoon.

For northern centres – such as Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga etc – expect a few showers here and there with brisk nor’westers.

Most centres wont be cold – although the southerly change heading into the South Island on Thursday will certainly be cooler.
