High pressure is dominating much of NZ’s weather but a rainmaker in the west is developing and will bring another burst of heavy rain to the West Coast this weekend and patchier showers into the North Island and eastern areas.

The warmer than average weather continues too with overnight lows in the late teens/near 20C for the upper North Island.

Reminder: Our ClimateWatch Video for December – the months of Summer – is out today. It’s our final one for 2021.
