A very large high is rolling in across New Zealand for the weekend bringing much lighter winds and mainly dry conditions. There may be some fog patches on Saturday which is worth keeping in mind with Fieldays finishing at Mystery Creek and people flying in and out of Hamilton.

On Sunday the high remains in charge but starts to drift more eastwards allowing a milder sub-tropical northerly flow across the country.

By Monday and Tuesday a low north of New Zealand will brush by, but at the same time an enormous block of high pressure over Southern Australia is still likely to track our way next week.
