Rain is moving in to the West Coast this long weekend, with a few showers possible in the north and south. Weather conditions will start off warm to hot for most places but by Monday and Tuesday a cooler more Autumn-like sou’wester will move in.
Changeable weather over Easter will likely bring the odd shower but Auckland looks set to be fairly dry, forecasters say.
WeatherWatch analyst Richard Green said the long weekend forecast was "a bit of a messy picture at the moment".
"There'll be sunshine, but the odd shower might interrupt activities forthose enjoying themselves outdoors," he said.
The weather would not be particularly wet except for the West Coast, which would get more showers than most, according to head weather analyst Philip Duncan.
"It's certainly looking changeable, but for a lot of us that'll just be clouds coming and going with one or two showers thrown in."
