NZ’s humid sub-tropical airflow may be with us until next week but Australia’s cold change should sweep away our humidity by the middle to later part of next week.

In today’s video we show you the stubborn, powerful, high pressure zone east of us, bringing all the record breaking May sub-tropical warmth to New Zealand, while the next big high pressure zone coming into Australia is doing the opposite – ushering in a colder southerly which will make it all the way up to the Gold Coast and Brisbane and beyond by early next week.

This cold change should reach thew South Island by Wednesday – then fall apart over the North Island on Thursday and Friday next week… and that’s all ahead of the next enormous high pressure zone, possibly reaching NZ by next weekend.
