A large high is crossing New Zealand this weekend, mainly the North Island. It will bring light winds, perhaps some morning mist and fog in the north and it will encourage westerlies in the South Island.

By the end of Sunday easterlies are developing in the north and by Monday the east to north east flow should cover much of New Zealand.

This east to north east air flow may linger for much of next week, turning west to north west next weekend potentially.
