Absence of rain continues

Rain is proving hard to come by for most provinces in New Zealand, and in the Bay of Plenty the situation is not much different.

A large high over the country is set to deliver more sunshine to the region with fine, sunny days forecast until Sunday.


More sunshine is on the cards for the Bay of Plenty over the coming days.

'While many will be looking forward to enjoying the fine weather, some places are in need of rain and this won't help,” says MetService meteorologist Stephen Glassey.

A pool of cold air in the upper atmosphere is producing showers, some heavy and thundery, in the east of both Islands today.

However, the showers depart again tomorrow as the high moves across New Zealand from the Tasman Sea.

'With the high firmly locking itself in place over the middle of the country, most places should be fine from Thursday, although easterlies may bring some cloud and isolated showers to Northland,” says Stephen.

For the Auckland anniversary regatta on Monday, there is likely to be an east or northeast breeze of around 15 knots (28 km/h) to accompany the fine weather.

However, skippers should check the latest marine forecasts at metservice.com before heading out.

Dunedin can also expect sunny weather when it hosts the ANZ International Series ODI cricket matches between Sri Lanka and the Blackcaps on Friday and Sunday.
