A burst of warm to hot weather continues to move up the eastern side of New Zealand.

Behind this is a cold (or cool) change with Thursday to Saturday looking much cooler in eastern areas particularly across the nation.

Sunday warms up a little ahead of what looks like a low for New Zealand on Labour Day.

Most places have about two dry days, with wettest weather around Fiordland and South Westland.

Here’s the forecast leading into Labour Weekend with Philip Duncan.
