A subtropical low will power up over the next 24 hours and brush past the north-eastern corner of the North Island around Thursday and Friday, bringing some rain and a burst of wind. Then it’s gone by the weekend. We show you the latest tracking and which areas are most exposed to any potential severe weather.

But, for the most part, much of NZ remains dry or mainly dry in the coming days despite a weak cold front also coming up the South Island on Wednesday and Thursday and falling apart.

Many regions have below normal rainfall over the coming week – but the north-east corner of the North Island and the south-west corner of the South Island are most exposed to any potential severe weather.

*Programming Note:
It’s possible we won’t have a video on Wednesday, or if we do Phil may be offscreen, due to other commitments.
