High pressure is ballooning out across New Zealand for this week and it will bring a cooler Tuesday for many regions. However later in the week the heat returns with sub-tropical nor’westers in some regions.

The windier, hotter, weather will be most noticeable in the east of both islands ahead of the next cold front moving up NZ this weekend and into Monday of next week. This next cold front will weaken significantly as it moves into the North Island.

See our 10 Day video from yesterday for more details. We have another video out later today too.
