Low pressure crosses the North Island over Tuesday and moves out to the east of the North Island in the coming days - encouraging more rain and showers around the North Island, mostly in the east. The wind flow will be a south-easterly for many in the north which should see western areas drying back out again.

The South Island will get brushed by some patchy light rain and drizzle in the east but in the days ahead a sou’wester kicks back in bringing wintry weather this weekend.

We have your detailed forecast through until Sunday…

    If you remove the topographical outlines from that situation map for Tuesday, i think you've got a good case of abstract kinetic art. Enjoyed it very much. Cheers.

    Winter already in Christchurch, in terms of frosts and cold bleak days. At least 3-4 weeks earlier than last year.
  • Cold, cloudy and raining in Hastings, NZ! We need this rain but not the cold! 😊

    Please could you explain different weather? Do you mean colder or milder? Looking forward to hearing about it. In the meantime, thank you for the update. Keep warm and take care. By the way only 1 penguin spotted this morning and it was a toy one but I have expecting more plus Ice Burgs.
