Spring weather is certainly still with us as a low from Australia heads to NZ this weekend and falls apart. The low will drop over 200mm of rain next couple of days on the coastal border of NSW and Victoria.

The low will then move to NZ this weekend and will fall apart over the South Island on Sunday. This will bring a surge of windier, westerly driven weather to NZ. 100mm of rain is expected in central West Coast.

Next week some rain and showers affect Bay of Plenty and East Cape.

We take a look at the forecast through the weekend and early next week for New Zealand and the eastern side of Australia.

Don’t forget – our ClimateWatch update (last one for 2023!) is out today with the SUMMER OUTLOOK for New Zealand and Australia from a farming and growing point of view.
