RainWatch: (MAR28) Dry weather continues

A few showers this weekend will likely brush Southland and parts of the West Coast – but for most other regions expect mostly dry, settled, weather thanks to a strong high pressure system moving over the nation and stalling somewhat over the North Island. The forecast is positive if you’re harvesting grapes, but not positive if you need rain for your farm or garden…and the dry weather may linger for northern areas until mid-April, or even longer.
