Big high and mainly settled, fog possible?

Saturday through to Tuesday. Go to ruralweather.co.nz, type in your centre then click on the “Fog/Cloud” tab, you’ll be able to see if fog is possible for you coming up.

High’s reaching into the thirties inland through till Tuesday

Temperatures about some inland areas especially the inner South Island and perhaps inland parts of the North Island at times will reach into the early thirties on Saturday through till Tuesday next week. Wednesday and Thursday conditions become very warm for eastern regions of both Islands.

Rain still on track for early February

A low descending into the Tasman Sea on the 1st February brings down some rain which starts affecting the far north, February 2nd through till the 4th at least expect some rain, mainly in the west and especially the western South Island. Eastern regions may need to wait a few days longer if long range maps stay consistent. The precipitation (% of normal) map below shows this rain, this map covers Thursday 27th January through to Friday 5th February 2022.
