A large high will bring easterlies to northern New Zealand and mostly light winds elsewhere. We track a few showers over the coming days - we'll show you who is most at risk. Then we take a look at the end of January - and look at the rain chances for early February.

Aucklanders are in for some "gorgeous" weather over the long weekend, Metservice predicts.

"We've got a big area of high pressure sitting in place across New Zealand with some gorgeous looking weather over the next few days," said Metservice meteorologist Dan Corbett.

The large high is expected to give Auckland a sunny long weekend.
