VIDEO: NZ 7 Day RainWatch: Tracking drought & upcoming rain
14/02/2025 7:30pm
> From the WeatherWatch archives
We have two low pressure zones coming to NZ from Sunday to Wednesday, one from the tropics and the other from the Tasman Sea.
Both bring patchy rain relief to dry and drought regions, but it may not be enough to really reverse conditions – especially with more high pressure coming next week.
It will become windier in the upper North Island (squash zone nor’easters) while heat will cover the lower South Island this weekend – ahead of a cold and Autumn-like change coming mid next week.
We have NZ’s 7 day rainfall outlook and latest drought index maps too.

Without doubt the “go too” weather watch forecaster with excellent accuracy and little of the baggage of the rest of them..
Why they bother is beyond me..
