High pressure is mostly affecting the country in the week ahead but we see afternoon downpours in both main islands that may turn heavy and thundery.

Winds are light for many regions, with hottest weather in the north of the country and more temperature fluctuations further south.

We also monitor a busy tropical region with a number of lows at the moment.

Due to Waitangi Day and leave our next video update will be on Monday. Have a great Waitangi Day and weekend.
