We’ve seen warm weather dominate the country through the middle of this week – with very high temperatures in parts of the eastern South Island especially!

Looking ahead to the weekend, we have rain or showers on the western side of the North Island spreading further north, though in the places that need it the most – the South Island – it’s not looking as hopeful.

Check out the rest of your weekend outlook, including an approaching frontal system, with Philip Duncan in the video below.
