Warmer than average weather is to return for most of New Zealand this week delaying the onset of Autumn.

MetService meteorologist Hannah Moes said it would be a mild start to the week for most on Monday, after a wet and cold weekend.

A narrow ridge of high pressure was spreading across most of the country. Auckland was in for a fine day with light winds and a high of 24C.

The only parts to see some unsettled conditions would be the West Coast this evening as a front approached land.

❓ Autumn, where are you?

🗣️ I'm in the Southern Ocean!

🌡️ While southerly air flows will occasionally graze the country, the next two weeks look to have average or above average temperatures.

The rest of the week was looking like similar conditions, with warm and fine weather for most and rain on the West Coast.

Rain could reach warning levels - 100mm in 24 hours - about Fiordland and Westland on Tuesday and Wednesday. Heavy rain would spread north on Wednesday and Thursday.

The northwest flow would conversely fuel hot and dry conditions on the east coast, courtesy of the foehn effect.

Moes said this would bring a return to warmer than average temperatures from Wednesday, with highs forecast in the mid-20s and even into the low-30s.
