High pressure is ticking up although showers remain this week and into the weekend in both main islands as varying wind flows help to produce localised showers.

Windy weather may also move through from the west and the south for a time, before the nor’west flow returns later this weekend.

Next week there is more high pressure – but also another low in the Tasman Sea – the third large one this month already. While this low may generate some further rain or showers for northern NZ, it’s unclear how much with the low quite a long way northwards and the next big high (with a cooler southerly) moving in towards NZ from Tasmania.

We also have NI & SI y day rainfall maps (thanks for Farmlands) to make sense of it all.

PROGRAMMING NOTE:
– Due to a scheduled power outage in our suburb on Friday we have no videos tomorrow – back again on Monday. (Good timing with the quieter weather at least!). Apologies for any inconvenience.
