MetService National weather: October 22nd - 24th

The Labour Weekend weather forecast is not perfect but there's sunshine between the clouds.

MetService meteorologist Lewis Ferris said the weather would be warm but with moisture in the air.

"The long weekend isn't expected to be perfectly sunny skies for all of Rotorua and the Bay of Plenty but it's far from doom and gloom.

"We've been dealing with a lot of lingering moisture this week, which has resulted in morning low cloud or fog. [It] clears nicely to blue skies but also a few isolated afternoon showers and patches of cloud," he said.

"The forecast conditions are quite summery with a prevalence of isolated afternoon showers – these aren't expected to affect everyone but could be quite heavy if you happen to be caught under one.

"Light winds and above average temperatures are making nice beach/lake conditions but it's looking quite humid and the overnight temperatures remain high so the fans also might make an appearance.
