High pressure is on the way this weekend – but before that starts to impact on our weather, we see some more frosty and cold conditions in the interior parts of the country.

The weekend itself is more settled and drier overall – with some shower activity clinging on in the northeastern North Island – but other than that, the calmer and clearer conditions should stick around into next week.

 

Friday

Light blue: Cool conditions once again in the interior of the South Island

Conditions settle down as we head into the weekend, as a ridge of high pressure creates a spell of much calmer and clearer weather over most of the country.

 

Saturday

Light blue: Frosty and cold conditions for the interior South Island – frosts likely to be heaviest in sheltered inland areas

Blue: Showers may affect eastern parts of Northland and the East Coast

The large ridge of high pressure once again brings a sunny and settled day across most of New Zealand.

 

Sunday

Blue: Showers possible in Northland, Auckland and the Coromandel

The high pressure brings mainly settled weather once again.

– Please note, the idea behind this update is to focus on the main weather highlights, which is why not all regions are mentioned.
