Mid-spring means there’s a lot of action with our weather. For NZ warm northerlies are going to kick in over the coming days, pushing temperatures in the east above 8 degrees over normal. (although in spring it is normal to have these fluctuations!).

But the warm weather in NZ is ahead of a cold change arriving this weekend – and a low that will form around the North Island bringing some further rain. In Australia a storm in the south east continues to hammer Victoria with heavy rain – and another 100mm is coming today.

Gale southerlies are also about to kick in along the eastern side of Tasmania up to the south-eastern corner of Victoria.

We have your full NZ and Australia forecast through to Monday next week.
