Weather News

Fast Fronts Bring Wet and Blustery Conditions 
14/07/2025
Covering period of Monday 14th - Thursday 17th
 
We’ve woken to a warmer, cloudier and foggier morning across the country today (Monday). Showers about the west will continue to ease, with cloudy areas in the east becoming fine. The snow has been topped up over the South Island so for those that aren’t back at work or school, it could be beautiful blue bird conditions on the slopes this afternoon.  

This settling trend isn’t long lived as a quick moving rain band approaches from the west tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. It brings a period of heavy rain and showers to western and northern areas of the country. Thunderstorms are possible about Taranaki up to Northland, as well as Coromandel and coastal Bay of Plenty. MetService Meteorologist Katie Hillyer says, “The silver lining is that this rain band and the showers will move too quickly to allow the accumulations to climb very high, but we’ll need to keep an eye out for the wind gusts as they move through”. A background of strong winds, combined with fast moving features could bring very strong, 80-100km/hr, gusts to Northland and Auckland in the morning and afternoon. By the end of Tuesday, the rain band will be moving off the county and the showers in behind will have eased.
