- Description
- Low pressure zones are growing around northern Australia, especially around the Coral Sea where there is even some tropical cyclone potential in the next week or two.
Windy and dry easterlies continue on for the southern third of Australia with cooler airflows pushing into the entire southern coastline for a time, but particularly in the south-east around Victoria.
Rain is also showing up in FNQ and coastal NSW - but much drier inland still.
We have your Australia-only forecast through until Sunday. Our next update will be this Thursday.

- Description
- We still have some unsettled weather this week but a number of regions have more days that are settled and calm than they do stormy or wet.
High pressure expands further around NZ over the coming week, but at the same time the tropics is becoming much more energetic with lows growing and even the chance of a tropical cyclone over the Coral Sea.
We have your New Zealand forecast through to Monday of next week.

- Description
- The weather patten around NZ remains unsettled - but summer weather isn’t over yet. A low moving in this weekend from the Tasman Sea will bring in some rain and isolated heavy showers/thunderstorms (mainly Sunday).
By Monday - which is a long weekend for around half of the nation due to Auckland Anniversary Weekend - a strong southerly flow will move in with coastal gales around the country and severe gales possible in some exposed parts of the North Island.
Next week high pressure moves through along with westerlies at times - with southern NZ having more “Autumn-like” temperature fluctuations.
We have your weekend weather and NZ’s rainfall outlook for the final week of January.

- Description
- Low pressure is growing further over tropical northern Australia over the next week or two and that finally sees some monsoon-like rain coming in to parts of Queensland - mostly in FNQ. Parts of the Northern Territory and the Kimberley will also see some wet weather. But further southwards across the rest of the continent windy and dry easterlies are likely to dominate over the coming week with fairly dry conditions.
Along the eastern side of Queensland and New South Wales there will be heavy wet weather especially between Cairns and Townsville. There's also some rain on the way for the eastern side of Victoria although totals aren't big for everybody.
We have Australia's seven day rainfall outlook/map plus this week's Flight Sim place of the day is Hindmarsh Island in South Australia.

- Description
- A fairly unsettled weather pattern will continue around New Zealand for the next several days as we end January.
This weekend low pressure from the Tasman Sea will try to move in but falls apart as it does so, mostly on Sunday bringing showers to both main islands and a cooler southerly change in the south (and warmer west to nor'west winds in the North Island).
Next week we see high-pressure crossing New Zealand bringing settled summer weather along with another burst of westerlies driving in heavy rain for the West Coast and sunnier and hotter weather for those along the east, but another cool change in southern NZ.

- Description
- Some dry and calm weather is back in the forecast for the remainder of the working week but this weekend a low in the Tasman Sea looks set to disrupt things by bringing in more rain, showers and cloud. Not everyone will get rain - or get much of it. In fact most regions lean drier than normal over the next week ahead.
As for the Big Picture - the Southern Ocean is still very stormy and continues to dominate NZ’s weather pattern, with the tropics very quiet so far - but some signs of life developing up there as we head into February.
Our next update is on Thursday.

- 7 Day: Gales & some rain for northern NZ, cooler in the east
- Runtime
- 8:06
- Date posted
- 2 years ago
- Description
- Low pressure around the north of NZ means windy weather is kicking in from today through to Tuesday, in particular the top third of the North Island. If you’re camping be prepared for some windy weather with gales and possibly even severe easterly gales in the forecast.
The further down the country you go the cooler those easterlies are with below normal temperatures by day for many eastern places from Gisborne to Dunedin.
But many regions are leaning drier than average over the next week despite the showers - but the top of the North Island and north-east of the North Island (Northland to East Cape) looks to lean wetter. Check your local WeatherWatch.co.nz or RuralWeather.co.nz forecast to drill down deeper on wind speeds, direction, temperatures and potential rainfall timing and totals.
We have your NZ and big picture forecast through until Friday of next week.

- Warmer air is slowing moving down the country over the days ahead and should affect most of NZ by next week as low pressure moves in from the Tasman Sea.
High pressure is now centred more south of NZ and that encourages milder airflows and low pressure further northwards, although it also means southern NZ may get some cold snaps in the weeks ahead.
We track the lows, highs and wet/dry weather for the next week ahead.

- Rain and showers are forecast in all states and territories this week but it’s a messy set-up with a few moving parts.
Heat is off and on for the southern half of the country with a southerly and then easterly change moving in this week as high pressure moves in to the south, and low pressure deepens over NSW and out over the Tasman Sea.
There’s also some risk of a tropical cyclone forming in northern WA and near the Top End this weekend. It’s not locked in yet - we cover it today but will have more details in our Thursday update.

- In our first weather video of 2025 we take a look at the high pressure zone bringing a mostly dry week to NZ - but also the new developing lows over the Tasman Sea which may alter NZ’s weather going into this weekend.
Certainly a switch from windy southerlies and westerlies looks to be replaced by windy easterlies as high pressure grows south of NZ and low pressure north of NZ - putting a easterly “squash zone” over the country late week or this weekend.

Week 2 may be even more settled as air pressure continues to rise. But showers, thunderstorms and occasionally windy weather is all in the mix - along with a few more southerly changes. This is certainly no a muggy start to summer with airflows mostly coming in from south of the country.

- Wet weather is coming for Queensland over the next week but sadly not in Victoria for the Grampians bush fire. In fact dry, hot and sometimes windy weather will dominate the lower half of the continent this week, driving in windy easterlies from coast to coast which causes cloud and wet weather for coastal eastern Qld and NSW, but drier inland and to the south for Vic and SA.
WA has windy weather at times from the east, boosting temperatures again. But the top half of WA and NT isn’t too stormy - just a few thunderstorms and isolated downpours here and there.

For campers this forecast may not be ideal, although it’s not raining every day some may find the windier weather frustrating - especially around the North Island.
There are two southerly changes for NZ this week - and no high pressure coming in over us. In fact,we’re stuck between high and low pressure for another week which is why it’s not overly settled.

- Description
- High pressure moves closer to NZ this weekend and brushes northern parts of the country next week. Despite the high not perfectly coming in, it will bring a generally drier set-up for most regions. But storms south of NZ and cold fronts from the Southern Ocean area will brush Southland and the south-western corner of the South Island.
We tracks the wind, rain and sunshine between now and next Wednesday.

- Winds and showers will spread over NZ in the coming days along with a colder pulse of air from the south, which will bring wintry conditions to some parts of the South Island on Thursday.
Generally speaking rainfall won’t be huge for most regions - with high pressure in the Tasman Sea moving closer to NZ by Fri and the weekend.
We give you the Big Picture forecast for the NZ area until Sunday.
*Programming Note:
We have no weather video tomorrow/Wednesday due to other commercial commitments we have. See you again on Thursday.
