> From the WeatherWatch archives
High pressure is the main feature of NZ’s weather this week but there are some showery and windy surges This weekend starts off warmer than average in most places – but ends colder as a southerly change arrives.
Next week is looking colder in the South Island and parts of the North Island – but there’s still a lot of high pressure around despite the rain, showers and windy patches.
*THANK YOU
