What the weather will be like on Christmas day around NZ

Apart from what presents you'll be getting, the main question we all want to know about Christmas is what the weather's going to be like.

MetService have just released their 10 day forecast for Christmas and while there's going to be a bit of rain around over the next week, it should hopefully clear for the east coast and central South Island as well as the lower North Island.

Unfortunately for everyone else, you might need to keep those umbrellas out for a bit longer...  

So before you decide to have a BBQ outside with the whole family on Christmas, check out what the weather will be doing for you below.
