A weekend of unsettled weather

Rain, sun and thunderstorms are all being predicted to the Bay as we draw close to the end of the working week.

According to the MetService, tomorrow is looking sunny in the morning, with showers expected in the afternoon.


Another lashing of thunderstorms is on the cards this weekend.

Saturday is looking a bit drearier, with a forecast of thunderstorms for the Bay.

However, the MetService is predicting fine weather for Sunday.

The unsettled weather is being brought by a low pressure system moving up with the country.

'On Saturday the low moves over Auckland in the evening followed by a strong south to southwest wind flow,” says MetService meteorologist Ciaran Doolin.

'Heavy rain and further squally thunderstorms are possible in central and northern areas of the North Island Saturday evening. Meanwhile, western coastal areas of the North Island are likely to be affected by a large southwest swell during this period.” The low moves east of the North Island on Sunday, easing the winds over the central and northern North Island.

However, severe southwest gales and a large southerly swell are expected along eastern coasts of the North and South Islands, persisting into Monday.

'On the upside, the South Island ski fields are in for a dusting of snow during the weekend, especially the Canterbury fields,” says Ciaran.
