Low pressure dominates New Zealand at the moment with two lows, one to the west of the North Island and the other to the east of the South Island.
Over the next 24 hours we’ll see more showers in the east, patchy rain for some central areas around Cook Strait, and fog patches with isolated downpours in the north.

I realise it’s probably too far out to say with much certainty but is the end-of-week southerly likely to affect the North Island going into the following week? Is Auckland likely to have any more crisp, blue-sky days that we often get with a southerly?

Sunday sees inproving conditions midday onwards, it may turn into one of those clear days at some point during the afternoon.
Monday looks pretty good, sunny with light southwesterlies then Tuesday starts to go down hill again 🙁

Thanks for the reply. Sorry, I should have been more specific – I was referring to the southerly mentioned near the end of the video around the 3.30 mark.

Hi there – the North Island will have a south to south east change on Sunday which should make for clearer, crisper conditions, but by Monday it turns SW with showers in the west (like Auckland). By Tues/Weds we’re back to windier westerlies again.
Hope that’s helpful?
Cheers
