Large high pressure from Australia will drift into the Tasman Sea this weekend and bring increasingly settled weather across both New Zealand and Aussie.

Slightly cooler southerly quarter winds for NZ but nothing too major. In the tropics there’s plenty of low pressure but no major storms to worry about just yet, despite the cyclone season now with us.

However a weak area of low pressure early next week may brush northern NZ with some wet weather.

We have your forecast through to next Thursday for NZ, Australia and the South Pacific Islands.
