As we look ahead to the next few days in Auckland, our weather forecast indicates a mix of conditions that every resident and visitor should prepare for. Let's take a closer look at what to expect from August 17 to August 19.

The day kicks off with temperatures starting around 11°C (52°F) early morning, gradually increasing to a high of 15°C (59°F). Expect a chilly morning with clear skies giving way to increasing cloud cover. Although there is a 93% chance of experiencing mist in the early hours, sunshine enthusiasts will have a brief opportunity with an 86% chance of sunshine before rain clouds start rolling in.

Precipitation is the big talk here, with light rain early in the afternoon leading into heavier rain by mid-afternoon—with accumulations expected at about 3.0mm. Make sure you have an umbrella handy if you're heading out!

A gentle breeze from the northwest at 6 km/h (4 mph) will pick up later in the day, with possible gusts reaching 28 km/h (17 mph) around the time the heaviest rains are expected. This wind could make it feel colder than the temperature suggests, so layering up is advisable.

Conditions will remain damp, with light drizzle continuing into the night. Expect temperatures to stabilize around 15°C (60°F) during the evening, making for a cool, wet night. Visibility could drop significantly during rainfall; expect mist and light rain to reduce clarity, especially after dark.

The forecast for Sunday looks slightly warmer, with maximum temperatures reaching 18°C (64°F) in the afternoon. Rain continues to be the main feature, with extensive cloud cover present for most of the day, primarily characterized by light rain showers.

Wind will continue from the northwest, picking up to 25 km/h (15 mph). The rain is expected to accumulate around 0.4mm, continuing the trend from Saturday. However, you may see some breaks in the rain, offering brief moments of respite.

As we wrap up the weekend and head into Monday, expect a noticeable drop in temperature. The high will only reach 12°C (54°F), with morning crowds seeing temperatures as low as 10°C (50°F). Cloud cover will persist, and rain will be intermittent, particularly in the morning.

With overcast conditions and drizzle likely throughout the day, plan for a 100% chance of rain.

Fog and mist conditions will be a concern again on Monday, especially during early morning hours, with humidity levels reaching up to 84%, so drivers should exercise caution.

In summary, this weekend in Auckland will see fluctuating temperatures, varying chances of precipitation, and wind that might chill you despite milder forecasted highs.
