An absolutely enormous area of high pressure is stuck out to NZ’s east and will help encourage more humidity into parts of the country, as will a sub-tropical northerly flow developing this weekend and into next week.

While conditions are mostly dry in the days ahead we do see some West Coast rain and a few North Island showers – also some showers into Canterbury.

Next week, between highs, NZ may have a chance for further rain or showers , before the next high rolls in from the west.
