We have more humidity which is making it feel warmer than it is by night and by day but it’s also producing more cloud and an increased risk of showers.

Some of these showers will become heavy inland, particularly in the North Island with some risks of thunder.

This weekend a cold front moves into the North Island but also falls apart entirely.

Meanwhile off to NZ’s north east we have two or three tropical lows bubbling up – one or two may become tropical cyclones but will remain away from NZ.
