NZ’s first public holiday in almost half a year is upon us and the forecast is, well, typical for this time of year!

As usual we see half of the weekend settled and the other half less settled with a cold front trying to move up the South Island later Sunday and into Monday.

Windier nor’westers will pick up again later in the weekend.

Here’s the full forecast to Monday – plus what is happening in Australia and the tropics with La Nina and Tropical Cyclone risks for NZ.
