August Ends On A High
MetService forecasters expect the last few days of August to bring generally dry weather as an anticyclone moves across the South Island.
"This is the first anticyclone to visit New Zealand since mid-July', said MetService Weather Ambassador, Bob McDavitt. "It will bring light winds to much of the country and several dry days to the east of the South Island and southern parts of the North Island, where they are most needed".
The anticyclone is not 100% dry. As pressures rise over the South Island on Friday, a southwesterly wind change is likely to bring a brief period of showers to eastern districts. Over the weekend, easterly winds may bring cloud and showers to Coromandel and Northland, and drizzle is likely for parts of the West Coast of the South Island.
"It'll should be a good weekend for skiing", added Mr. McDavitt.
