This is what the weather is looking like for Christmas Day around New Zealand ...
It's about this time of year that we look to the future and wonder what the weather will be like for Christmas Day …
Luckily we have trawled through MetService, so you don’t have to!
It seems like the South Island is the place you want to be for a sunny Christmas, while many locations around the North Island are set to be cloudy and raining.
