A quiet theme to the weather will continue into the weekend as weak fronts slide across the country.

The MetService is predicting showers for Saturday and Sunday, but nothing compared to the wild weather which struck the region last weekend.

A quiet and calm weather forecast for Tauranga this weekend.

Temperatures will remain about 25 degrees during the day and will drop to about 13 to 15 degrees at night.

Media and communications meteorologist Dan Corbett says fairly decent weather is expected in many places over the next several days, but raincoats may be needed in others.

'An easterly flow is expected to bring some wet weather across northern and eastern parts of the North Island this weekend.

'Over the remainder of the country, the anticyclone will help bring mainly fine and dry weather, with some spells of morning cloud.” Dan says Tropical Cyclone Mike, now well south of the southern Cook Islands, is expected to turn into a large extra tropical low in the next day or so well east of New Zealand.

'It may bring stronger winds to the Chatham Islands later in the weekend, while surfers and boaties in northern and eastern parts of the country will notice an increase in the easterly swells.”
