A burst of wind and rain is coming next week to many regions as high pressure finally slips away for a time allowing low pressure, fronts and cooler air to get in the mix.

The Southern Ocean is stormier going into April, and high pressure breaks up later next week and going into April’s first week. More high pressure may return after that, but next week is definitely a change to NZ’s weather pattern.

We have a 10 day rainfall map, plus the forecast out to the end of Daylight Saving.
