There is a lot to unpack in the video this weekend with a number of large highs and lows around New Zealand leading to strong winds and heavy rain for some this weekend – but also large areas of calm and dry in the mix too.

The set up is very slow moving with basically three days ahead that are fairly similar (rain most likely in the north east, cloud in the east, sunniest and driest in the west to south west).

With so many moving parts we take a look at the forecast until Tuesday and have special weekend highlight maps to show you too.
