HIGH’s ON THE WAY OUT

The high bringing us settled weather over the last few days is moving out to our east early this week, meanwhile a low drops into the Tasman Sea from up north with heavy rain due for the West Coast from Wednesday and rain may get into northern Northland for a time.

NO SILVER BULLET REGARDING RAIN FOR THE NORTH ISLAND

From Wednesday we do see showers for the western North Island and some rain for northern Northland for a time, but beyond that it’s still looking largely dry for the North Island unfortunately for the foreseeable future (next two weeks at least). You can see this in the map below, the blue colour represents wetter weather basically while the red is dry.

WEST COAST HAS DECENT RAIN ON THE WAY

While the North Island misses out on decent rain the West Coast of the South Island has plenty on the way. Check out the figures for Reefton coming up be clicking here.
