Low pressure, windy weather, hot and cold – it’s all in the mix over the coming days, bringing both hot and dry weather for some on Christmas Day, colder, wetter and cloudier for others.

A similar weather pattern remains for Boxing Day and going into the weekend for some – as potentially more low pressure moves in.

Coldest weather will be in the lower one third of the South Island, hottest weather in the eastern North Island.

The weather forecast from Sunday through to New Year’s Eve is not yet locked in – but we bring you the latest weather maps right up until New Year’s Eve.

Our next update will be tomorrow/Christmas Eve.
