Dry start for Anzac

As many Bay of Plenty residents rise early tomorrow morning to take part in Anzac Day dawn services, eastern areas will start with mostly dry conditions for commemorations.

With a continuation of a cloudy northwest feed of air across New Zealand on Friday, the country will be split between some generally clearer skies and drier conditions in the east, while the west is to have cloudier and wetter weather conditions.


A mixture of fine weather and showers is on the cards for Tauranga this weekend.

Tauranga is set to see some showers today, with cloud moving across the city tomorrow.

The MetService is predicting more showers on Saturday with finer weather on Sunday.

Daily highs in Tauranga are expected to sit at about the 20 degrees Celsius mark with overnight lows between 10 to 14 degrees Celsius.

MetService meteorologist John Law says for Anzac Day, New Zealand is going to find itself still in a northwest flow.

'Meaning, if you are off to the dawn services in the west of the country plan for the chance of some rain – while the east of the country looks to be staying dry.

'Looking ahead through the rest of Anzac Day and into the weekend, a front is forecast to move northwards across the country through Friday before weakening away across the north of New Zealand on Saturday.”

A ridge of higher pressure builds in behind the front, bringing fine weather across much of the country during the weekend.

'We should see the return of some fine and sunny weather on Saturday, as one front clears from the north, but another system waiting in the wings for the start of next week should be heralded by showers returning to western shores late on Sunday.”
