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.
