Speaker 1 (00:00):
Phil Duncan wraps the country. He's a big boy band
fan especially take that. No time to talk about that, Phil,
tell me what's going to happen for the long weekends.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Well, we've got high pressure. I'd like to say back
for good that would be a good segue. But we've
got high pressure coming in this weekend. So it's around
the country off to the west at the moment, and
that's why we are going to see due to a
storm south of New Zealand, a brief a bit of
cold weather moving into the south. Not majorly cold, but
you'll notice the temperatures up and down a wee that

(00:29):
especially in South Bend and Otago going through the long weekend,
and a week cold front that tries to move up
the west coast on White Tunny Day, bringing a little
bit of wet weather. So we've got some showers around
the lower half of the South Island on White Tony Day,
that brief bit of rain moving up the west coast
and in the North Island because of a westerly flow,
there will be a bit of cloud and a few

(00:50):
isolated showers on the West and Sis It's not going
to be much mostly dry stays that way pretty much
into Saturday as well, not a great deal of difference,
and on Sunday we might see a few isolated afternoon
thunderstorms inland through both of the main islands. But again
high pressure dominates the weather going right into next week
and potentially lasting right through till Thursday of next week,

(01:12):
when it may get a little more subtropical again for
the North Island and northwest is coming back into the
South Island. So it's a pretty settled weather forecast. It's
one of the more settled ones that I've seen over
perhaps the last few months, so it's a nice change,
but still not perfect.

Speaker 1 (01:28):
Who's your favorite boy band?

Speaker 2 (01:31):
I don't know, it's a hard question to add. Probably
these guys. Yeah, all right.
