It’s the countdown to Christmas and this week kicks off with windier, hotter westerlies – but ends with cooler southerlies.

The lower two thirds of NZ will be impacted most by this, whole the upper North Island has more settled weather with high pressure…but then late week a sub-tropical low moves in and may just stop short from moving in across the island.
