Weekend weather: Fine in the South Island, not so much in the North
While it will be chilly in the South Island, it is set to be an attractive opening weekend for the southern ski fields. Photo: RNZ / Tess Brunton It has been a wet and cold week for most so far, but MetService says for a large part of the country, the weather is looking pretty good this weekend. While it will be chilly in the South Island, it is set to be an attractive opening weekend for the southern ski fields. On Sunday it will be mostly fine, with one or two showers about Southland coasts. It is a slightly different story for the North Island. There have been 37,000 lightning strikes since Monday, and MetService says more could be on the way. While the risk of thunderstorms is lowering, there is a chance parts of the north will still see them on Friday and Saturday. Thunderstorms are possible for Coromandel, Auckland, Waikato and Great Barrier Island. For the upper North Island, peppered showers continue to bubble away throughout the weekend.
