Saturday across New Zealand kicks off mostly dry and settled thanks to a very large high-pressure system.

However to the north and to the south of the country lie two areas of wet weather, and on Sunday these will move further in across the country.

The north will see some heavy downpours potentially on Sunday while the south will see a cold front weaken as it moves north.

By next week a very large high is rolling in, bringing dry weather to most regions for a number of days.
