High pressure is crossing the NZ area in the days ahead, with a mild northerly flow spreading down over the nation this weekend.

In Australia a weak cold front brushes the south and reaches Sydney and NSW by Saturday.

Next week, as high pressure moves further east away from NZ, we’re expecting three sub-tropical lows to form north of us.

Only one of these lows may impact NZ directly, but the set up is very “La Nina”. *Sound issues: Apologies for the sound/audio issues yesterday, we’ve made improvements today and have further studio improvements over the coming week or two.
