Big high pressure is headed towards NZ for the end of this week and start of the weekend but both NZ & Aussie have daily downpours continuing on, especially in the east.

They will be off and on for a few more days in NZ before high pressure clears them.

However Australia looks like it will receive more hit and miss downpours over the coming week in the east – and perhaps an area of set in rain from some low pressure to the south. A great forecast for many who need rain – but perhaps not great timing for those harvesting wheat etc.

We have your forecast across New Zealand and Australia through to this Saturday.

⛈️Good news for #Queensland right now with widespread #thunderstorms⚡️stretching north to south through the state's dry interior.

Cooler easterlies keep the coastline storm free but those storms form well inland where those winds #MeetTheHeat!
