If you need rain then there is some (patchy) good news. A low will cross NZ on Wednesday with a front, then another low (possibly larger) may come in by next Monday.

The chaotic set-up feels like Autumn and brings a variety of temperatures over the coming week in some places due to the mixture of airflows. Northerlies, westerlies, easterlies and southerlies are all in the mix with sub-Antarctic and sub-tropical airflows also in the forecast.

It’s generally milder this week than last week. Rainfall chances are there for dry regions – but please note, this is not a silver bullet to fix dry conditions, but it should be some helpful rain to those who get it.

We have a detailed rain and temperature forecast through to Monday for you…
