Highs and lows are moving around New Zealand, some quite large, but at this stage the next week or two will see most of this big air pressure systems parked to our east, west or south.

It places NZ in a bit of a ‘flat’ air pressure zone where we get some rain and some calm but overall we have mild days, colder nights and a drier than usual weather pattern.

There is some rain – two lows will track over or by NZ in the next two weeks but the bulk of the rain may fall at sea.
