WeatherWatch: (July 19) Warm weekend for many

Warm wind from the north or north west are expected to boost temperatures in eastern New Zealand to between 15 and 20 degrees this weekend – a huge change from a week ago when we were forecasting snow to near sea level. Rain or showers may affect the South Island’s West Coast and if you live in the North Island’s west, like Auckland, there will be plenty more cloud – but that means mild weather, especially overnight where temperatures are currently well above average.
