Northwest gales will affect much of central and southern New Zealand today ahead of an approaching front from the Tasman Sea, but winds ease over the lower South Island following the passage of the front. On Thursday, the front moves onto the North Island and weakens as a ridge builds over the country. On Saturday,the ridge remains over the North Island but northwesterlies strengthen further south as another front approaches.
