We have the forecast for New Zealand, Australia and the South Pacific Islands as we head into the weekend and the start of next week.

Powerful high pressure is crossing NZ but behind it lies showers and windier westerlies, which will push into SA, VIC and TAS before reaching NZ this weekend.

Apologies – we have no video on Friday but extra maps and information can be found at both RuralWeather.co.nz and WeatherWatch.co.nz.

Our next video will be on Monday, have an awesome weekend!!
