Locals and visitors to the region should make the most of this weekend's sunny conditions - because it isn't expected to last.
The forecast for the next week, including this long weekend, is looking good but showers are expected to return just before Waitangi Weekend.
The current fine weather is good news for those attending Raggamuffin with dry conditions expected apart from brief showers tomorrow afternoon.
MetService forecaster Jeff Sanders said the showers should clear for Saturday - in time for that day's Raggamuffin festival schedule.
Raggamuffin will be held over two days at the Rotorua International Stadium starting tomorrow night with the main music festival on Saturday.
