NZ’s windy weather is moving in today, peaking Saturday in the North Island, then returns on Monday with another blast, this time more southerly.

The classic spring set-up is being enhanced by El Nino… which basically is like wearing a hat on a hat, making spring feel even more ‘spring-like’.

Australia’s south east also has some much needed wet weather thanks to a low pressure zone forming around Victoria, Tasmania and Bass Strait next week.

It’s a busy weather forecast for NZ and parts of Australia – we cover your weekend weather and the outlook to Wednesday next week as we say farewell to September and hello to October.

Programming Note: Our OCTOBER/SPRING ClimateWatch update is out later today, Friday Sep 29.
