Low pressure has affected NZ’s weather for over a week now and will be with us until the middle of next week - but it will cross NZ from west to east from this Sunday to Tuesday. Once it’s over the Pacific Ocean and no longer the Tasman Sea it may grow again, and that could see some colder air and showers pushing into eastern NZ.

However high pressure is on the way next week for a time bringing frosts, colder nights, and some sunnier weather. It may not linger too long though.

We have your forecast through to Wednesday next week, plus the 7 day Rainfall outlook.

Have a great weekend!

Thanks for the solstice weather update Philip, this slow moving low has been really interesting, look forward to the next system, hopefully there is a better wind forecast for the transpacific sailers!
