A calm and fine autumnal weekend is in store for most of the country, forecasters say.
However, West Coasters could catch some rain and westerly winds, MetService said.
"The weather over the South Island has become drier and quieter, and on the whole the weekend looks much more settled for many parts of the country," meteorologist John Law said.
Clear, cold nights were on the cards for some spots, he said.
"Clear skies and light winds are great conditions for temperatures to quickly drop away once the sun sets."
