Hi there Riley, we don’t have a December outlook yet but generally speaking we’re seeing a few rain bands moving through over the next couple weeks affecting the upper North Island. Weather forecasts tend to only go out 10 days or so with accuracy – beyond that the timing/placement of weather systems in the maps can move around so much it becomes unreliable in a narrow island nation like NZ. But there are some dry settled patches, but also a few lows to keep an eye on. Likely warmer than average too.

Hi Paul, High pressure north of NZ is pulling down subtropical air from around New Caledonia/southern Vanuatu and the Coral Sea area. The placement of that high is helping drag down that humid summer-like air. This should ease back in the coming days/nights. It’s been well above average/normal for parts of NZ over the past week due to these airflows.

Cheers,
Phil D

yes squally weather Tuesday afternoon here south Auckland as well also those overnight labour day/Tuesday before dawn thunderstorms and heavy rain from the active cold front.

Hey Josh, our ClimateWatch video is out on Friday and we expect to see some spring pattern continuing on into December. Will have a better idea end of the week (and going into mid November).
