MetService New Zealand Christmas Forecast โ˜€๏ธ
โ€ข Just three sleeps to go before Christmas day, but weโ€™ve still got some active weather to contend with before we can open our presents.
โ€ข Windier and wetter weather moves northwards during the night tonight and into Tuesday. Heavy Rain Watches are in place for some of the higher parts of Buller and Grey tonight, and the coastal hills and ranges of Waitomo and Waikato tomorrow.
โ€ข Itโ€™ll be a blustery day around the lower North Island on Tuesday morning, with strong wind watches issued for Wellington Wairarapa and parts of Hawkeโ€™s Bay.
โ€ข A look ahead to the Christmas day forecast:
- For the North Island, most places in for a dry and sunny day, but showers in the north may sink a little further southward during the afternoon. Something to keep an eye on for regions north of the Bay of Plenty. Itโ€™ll be a continuation of the heat for Hawkeโ€™s Bay and Tairawhiti, who look to be the warmest spots for Christmas day.
- For the South Island, wetter weather on the West Coast might mean itโ€™s board games rather than BBQโ€™s but in the east it looks to be a dry day with highs in Canterbury around 25 ยฐC with some cloud but also some brighter spells.

Crews have attended 15 vegetation fires in the past 30 days, and with very dry conditions and no significant rain forecast, the fire risk is extremely high. Fireworks are a known cause of fires in these conditions โ€“ all it takes is one spark.

From the same time, the Wairoa Inland, Tararua West and Tararua Central zones move into a restricted fire season, meaning a permit is required for any open-air fire.
