A messy area of rain, showers and dry conditions will spread over the North Island over Sataurday although we still expect plenty of dry weather, especially the further east you go.

Much of the South Island has a brief pause between systems – and a much colder change arriving on Sunday in Otago and Southland, so make the most of today!

A low is forming over the North Island on Saturday/the weekend so the areas of rain may grow/shrink a bit in the coming 48 hours. Keep checking back for updates. It’s a complicated, messy set up for the North Island meaning changes to some forecasts are likely.

Northland, Auckland, Waikato & Bay Of Plenty
Quite cloudy with showers developing or patchy rain developing for a time but still plenty of dry spells. Northerlies.
