Conditions for holidaymakers heading off today look “Good” according to WeatherWatch.co.nz’s Queens Birthday weekend Travel Forecast..
A large high means dry weather should be in place for at least 98% of the country today estimates WeatherWatch, with light winds everywhere. This means road, air and sea conditions should be good.
Frosty conditions overnight tonight may cause a few icy patches for travellers not setting off until early Saturday morning.
It’s a different story for those returning home, with a low moving down from the north.
