The forecast this week and weekend looks mostly dry for those celebrating Guy Fawkes.

For farmers and gardeners wanting rain in the north, there is a low coming in from the Tasman Sea, but it is a bit hit and miss.

It will deliver isolated heavy showers perhaps on Wednesday and Thursday for some parts of the North Island and potentially the upper South Island.

Temperatures this week look warm… in fact hot for some – with highs pushing into the mid 20s.
