e have quite an unsettled week of weather coming up with at least three bursts of rain and a generally windier week, especially around the North Island.

The unsettled pattern will favour more rain across NZ that we’ve seen in recent weeks which will be good news for dry areas. As a rough rule the eastern side of NZ has 5 to 10mm coming while the West Coast has up to 125mm coming between now and the end of the working week, with 60mm for the lower western North Island and 30mm for the upper western North Island.

This weekend low pressure crosses the country and a southerly change comes in briefly before fading on Sunday as high pressure rolls in from the west.
