A large high will dominate New Zealand’s weather this long weekend with almost every region warmer than average by day and mainly dry.

However there is a little wet weather floating around, mostly around Fiordland and surrounding regions on Saturday, then on Sunday and Monday both islands have a few downpours in to the afternoon.

Next week looks even warmer and drier to begin with – still a few inland downpours possible. Rain returns to the West Coast by Wednesday.
