High pressure moves further into NZ today with a colder/cooler start for many.

SUNDAY & NEXT WEEK

On Sunday high pressure briefly rolls in with more settled weather over NZ and just a few isolated showers, maybe around the eastern North Island – but won’t be much. Winds are lighter for many but it may be a little windy around some places, like Auckland.

❄️A colder southerly on Saturday followed by light winds and clearer skies on Sunday will see #FROSTS forming around the South Island in particular. Mainly inland but in some areas may go closer to the coasts.

Monday looks to kick off with another enormous Southern Ocean storm (well south of NZ) – but big enough to help bring another spring-surge of severe gales to the lower portion of the South Island – while it remains calm in northern parts of the country thanks to that high pressure zone which is still lingering.

On Tuesday next week westerlies return further across the country and rain and showers for the West Coast.

Wednesday and Thursday should see high pressure growing again – before the next surge of westerlies by Friday next week.
