Step out in the morning, say, in Auckland, Paihia, you're gonna go 'ahhh, feels better.'
You almost think of a high as a big bubble; you pump it with air [gestures doing so], it builds in and it keeps all the other weather systems away.
Little dangly weather front to the far south and you say, 'ah, he's not much.'
With the high building in and saying, 'haha, I'm here,' you should have a decent-looking Sunday. That's the weather for now [point], more at MetService-[nod]-dot-com.

Saturday morning, step to the outside, you're gonna go [takes deep breath in, exhales], what a different feel.
The high just sort of nestles his way in and says, 'ha ha, I'm here. I'm going to stay for a couple of days.'

That fairly active weather system has certainly made itself known over the past couple of days, probably banging the window panes, taking the rubbish bags and throwing them down the road.
Whenever we sort of open up the isobars like an accordion [see pic] that means things will be quietening down.

It seems they're waving goodbye to summer in New Zealand. Dan explains the shifting seasons:
"Over the next few weeks, it's not going to be like someone has flicked a switch and bang, it's going to be cold," he said.
Darker mornings are due to the tilt of the earth on its axis.
"It causes different parts of the planet to experience different amounts of sunshine per day," Mr Corbett said.
He gave this analogy: Think of a science teacher shining a torch on a titled globe of the world.
"The area closer to the flashlight stays brighter longer than the places at the bottom of the globe," he said.
Brilliant.
