Holidaymakers in northern holiday hotspots should make the most of a two-day spell of golden weather with a stormy sub-tropical low set to spoil the long weekend.
MetService says Friday is set to be "a stunner" with fine weather forecast across the entire country save the far south.
While the wet and at times blustery conditions affect southern regions as a front moves up the South Island on Saturday the North Island is set to enjoy at least two days of golden weather during the Easter break.
But MetService warns come Sunday conditions begin to deteriorate in Northland as a sub-tropical low slowly sinks southwards.
