Early spring is continuing to emerge with a big high this weekend bringing in warmer than average weather followed by a sub-tropical northerly flow developing next week.

It means a dry weekend is on the way for most of NZ with light winds too. The nights may still be a bit cold but the days are certainly warmer than average in most places by this weekend and certainly by early next week.

The low next week is complicated and nothing is yet locked in about precise placement of the centre or where rain and wind will be. We’ll have more details in our next update on Friday too.
