The next couple of days are busy weather wise around New Zealand in particular the South Island which sees a strong hot North West flow developing.

By Friday colder air moves in and temperatures take a 10 to 15° drop.

The North Island has a mostly dry and warm weekend ahead – but could be an isolated shower.  

Next week, all eyes head to the sub-tropics as low pressure looks likely to form there with rain heading south. One to watch – too far out to lock in yet.
