The long weekend is upon us and many have four even five days off work. We take a look at where the highs will be, the cold fronts (a couple of them) and some windy weather.

Despite that typical Autumn forecast the long weekend is still looking mostly settled and dry nationwide.

• Wettest will be the West Coast on Saturday and Monday
• Coolest will be Southland on Saturday
• Warmest will be Hawke’s Bay on Saturday
• Sunniest will be the east of both islands
• Calmest will be the upper North Island
