She said Rotorua could expect a warm and dry summer and Christmas and New Year's Eve was looking to be good, too.
"There's rather a nice holiday forecast for Rotorua," Mrs Griffiths said.
Mrs Griffiths said Rotorua would, of course, get some rainy days but it wouldn't get any of the heavy rainfall that other parts of the country could get.
A lot of it would hit before Christmas too, she said.
She forecast temperatures just before Christmas would increase and continue.
She said Rotorua had already had some fine weather this month and was likely to experience much of the same for the rest of December.
According to the Metservice 10-day weather forecast, it will be mainly fine and sunny through to Monday next week, including a scorcher of a weekend with a high of 24C.
Rain is forecast to set in from Tuesday.
Despite that, Mrs Griffiths said Rotorua was unlikely to see heavy rainfalls this summer and it would be dryer than normal.
"There's another beautiful weekend coming up."
Meanwhile, spring in Rotorua was pretty dry.
In November, only 24.2mm of the normal 114mm of rainfall was recorded by the Springfield weather observatory for Rotorua making it the driest on record.
The whole month, it seems, was pretty dry, too.
Mrs Griffiths said for the whole of spring, between September and November, only 205mm of rain was recorded at the Rotorua Airport.
She said that was only two-thirds of the normal rainfall for the season.
