Windier weather is coming back in this Friday and weekend – and again early next week, but high pressure is also in the mix bringing drier skies and lighter winds (even if only briefly for some of you).

Rainfall may be significant in the southern half of the West Coast, while much of the North Island and eastern NZ have drier than usual conditions carrying on.

We tracks the weather ups and downs + your 7 day New Zealand rainfall outlook.

*Programming Note: We may not have a video on Thursday (October 16) – If not, back again Friday!
