Westerly quarter winds are about to kick in across New Zealand and it’s going to push temperatures above normal for this time of year but a few to several degrees.

Expect highs over 20 degrees in a number of eastern regions in the five days ahead. Most places in New Zealand will also be drier than average.

We also head to the Atlantic and take a look at Category 4 Hurricane Florence as it heads towards the Carolinas with landfall expected sometime in the next 48 to 72 hours.
