We had some better rainfall totals this past week for dry areas but the upcoming forecast swings back to dry or many. 

The pattern over the coming week is for more westerlies which will encourage rain on the West Coast, showers for the North Island’s western side and mostly dry for eastern New Zealand.

The maps below show what has been and what is coming.

PAST 7 DAY RAINFALL (Historic)
