**Apologies for the visual problem in the first 5 seconds of the video**. Heat and humidity increases in northern NZ today and tonight, low pressure crosses the country on Tuesday and then a more refreshing southerly airflow will move in – all ahead of the next high pressure zone by Wednesday and Thursday.

Waitangi Day looks mostly settled around NZ, although some showers are likely in southern Westland, Fiordland and maybe Southland and Otago (although it won’t be much for most).

This weekend looks similar, although rain moves up the West Coast and on Sunday a cooler southerly with showers comes into Southland and Otago, while high pressure brings light winds and dry skies to much of the North Island, perhaps just a little windy through Cook Strait at times.
