Windy weather will continue to surge off and on across NZ this weekend and into next week as more gale force Northwest winds carry on.

This means plenty of heavy rain coming into the West Coast and some heavier showers elsewhere around the north island with most wet weather leaning to the western and southern sides of the country. Warnings are expected as we go through the weekend and into next week as well.

However high-pressure just north of New Zealand means that some will have a drier calmer period of weather over the weekend maybe around Sunday or Monday.

We have your seven day forecast including seven day rainfall across New Zealand.
