Another low pressure zone is moving into the country today, this time from the Tasman Sea. It doesn’t bring much severe weather but there is the risk of a few heavy downpours and some thunderstorms for the upper and western North Island. There may also be locally gusty winds within those heavy showers and/or isolated thunderstorms.

This morning a Severe Thunderstorm Warning was issued for parts of Northland. As of 1pm it was lifted.

The Tasman Sea low will fall apart and be absorbed by the former ‘weather bomb‘ out to the east of NZ.

Elsewhere, a colder air flow is moving in – more noticeable on Monday and Tuesday as high pressure drifts out into the northern Tasman Sea encouraging southerlies and then south-westerlies over much of New Zealand.
