Autumn isn’t just about wet and windy weather – the second half of the working week sees a few heavy showers around the North Island but as we head into the weekend a high from the Tasman Sea is also pushing in.

Friday and Saturday look set to be most settled with Sunday also a fairly sunny and warm day in many areas – however the strong winds return to exposed areas south of Wellington on Sunday with rain clouds returning to the West Coast as a low in the Southern Ocean passes by.
