The sunshine and blue skies are about to take a backseat to wind and rain as temperatures are forecast to drop for the weekend.
Patchy rain and a “messy” week of weather are expected as a strong low heads our way.
The first week of the school holidays brought cool mornings and sunshine but the second will see rain and gale-force winds in some parts.
The east coast of the North Island will see showers in the coming days as the colder air spreads across the country.
A low over the Tasman Sea that’s giving the southeastern corner of Australia a burst of severe winter weather will also bring a few showers to Northland.
