Most parts of New Zealand have rain or showers coming over the next five days. The bulk of the rain will be on the western side of the nation but this weekend a low deepens out to our east and this encourages rain into the eastern side of the country while western areas become sunny.

Temperatures are all over the place with some days warmer than average and others cooler.

We have heavy snow in the Southern Alps and also some big waves forming along New Zealand’s entire western coastline in the days ahead.
