Wind and rain push across NZ later this weekend and into early next week as a low pressure zone that has now been with NZ for an entire week continues on.

However this eastern movement of the low on Sunday and Monday will finally see it crossing the country and, all things going smoothly, it should finally depart our shores by Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, almost two full weeks since it first arrived.

We track the progress of this low – and the brief area of high pressure likely coming in behind it later next week.
