Parents should pull out the colouring books and stock pile some movies for the first week of the drizzly school holidays.

But Weather Watch head analyst Philip Duncan said gloom, cloud and rain will make way for drier weather in the second week of the holidays.

“About 70 per cent of the country is going to be exposed to showers and drizzle patches from Saturday through to Thursday… There will be plenty of dry spells though.

“Generally most people will still be able to go away next week, but if you can choose, the second week is looking a little bit more promising with a bit of a high coming in.”

Duncan says no snow is expected over the next two weeks although the warm weather is likely to be followed by a little cold burst.

Nelson has lots of unsettled weather going on around the township but it may be protected by its mountain ranges, says Duncan.While Queenstown is one of the best places to be this week with the odd shower but otherwise calm, dry weather. Duncan said Queenstown is warmer than it should be at this time of year.

However, Queenstown is looking like one of the best places to be this week with warmer than usual weather with the odd shower but otherwise calm, dry weather.
