They say pictures paint a thousand words so let’s let the weather maps do the talking today as we break down the first weekend of October 2019.

Put simply, we have a cold front moving northwards up NZ on Saturday – reaching the upper North Island by the end of the day and then falling apart. Some may only get a few drizzly showers in the very north or north east.

On Sunday we see high pressure growing and helping fade out the cooler southerly quarter flow behind Saturday’s cold front.

By the way – next week looks milder than this past week has been.
