The last of the week’s large low pressure systems is on its way towards New Zealand – and will start bringing stormy, rough conditions to western parts of the country as we head into the weekend.

Strong winds, heavy rain and thunderstorms are all coming back by Friday, as a very deep low sits off to our southwest, pushing strong northwest winds onto New Zealand and bringing very unsettled conditions to many parts of the country.
