New Zealand’s more unsettled weather pattern continues this weekend and possibly through next week as high pressure slips further away allowing for lows and cold fronts to move in.

A cold front is currently moving up the nation and will clear the North Island on Friday. Behind this is a windier change for all of NZ as we head into Saturday – but it does ease by Sunday.

Next week high pressure kicks off the week but it may be pushed away by another low moving in from the Tasman Sea or Southern Ocean – one to keep an eye on.
