This week is a messy one but not looking too severe. Messy in the sense that there’s a bit of cloud and some slow moving areas of drizzle or showers.

Weak lows will drift from Aussie to New Zealand over the next week, mostly affecting the North Island and some drizzly weather later for Canterbury.

Driest and most settled regions are likely to be the West Coast and Southland this week and weekend.
