We have two videos this weekend, one for New Zealand and the other for Australia as we fine tune the forecast for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

You can find the Australia-only video here.

For New Zealand it looks mild for many for Christmas Day, but there will be showers in both islands – some potentially heavy with isolated thunder in the afternoon.

Next weekend’s weather isn’t yet locked in – but we show you what the modelling is saying for New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.

Have a very Merry Christmas – and safe travels if you’re heading away.

Our next videos will be out on Thursday Dec 28.
