The weather forecast for New Zealand this week will see lows and highs passing through but no air pressure system really lingering for long.

A number of regions will have rain or showers at some point – but it’s worth pointing out rainfall won’t be very much for a number of eastern regions.

On Friday polar air will briefly brush the lower South Island with lower temperatures – but will likely be pushed away again by the weekend.
