Another windy week ahead
Most places are in for more windy days this week, due to a large high north of New Zealand directing a prevailing westerly flow over the country. On Wednesday and Thursday, winds are expected to rise to gale in parts of the South Island and lower North Island as a significant front moves north over New Zealand.
“The current weather pattern means the wettest area this week will be the West Coast of the South Island, while eastern parts of the North Island and Northland will be the driest,” commented MetService Meteorologist Stephen Glassey.
Forecast 24 hour rainfall accumulations broken down day by day
Tennis fans heading to the Heineken Open
in Auckland can expect mostly dry but cloudy conditions this
week. Although breezy westerlies are expected at times, they
are unlikely to be severe.
On Thursday, northerly
gales are expected in Wellington for the first day of the
cricket test between the Black Caps and Bangladesh, with a
period of rain likely in the afternoon. However, conditions
should improve dramatically on Friday, when the front clears
New Zealand.
A brief ridge of high pressure follows the
front on Friday. However, another front is expected to move
over New Zealand next
weekend.
