We have the forecast for the upcoming weekend and the start of next week with a series of highs and lows moving around the country.

For the most part NZ is leaning drier than average but the eastern North Island has a cooler, showery, set of weather in the days ahead.

Elsewhere leans warmer than average, especially inland, to the west and to the south. We have an update on cyclone potential north of NZ next week and a storm likely south of NZ next weekend.
