Higher air pressure is expected across NZ and Australia going into August – but storms and lows surrounding us are still in the mix. In a nutshell we see larger, drier, and calmer zones moving across both nations – and still some high pressure up into the tropical islands too.

We discuss La Nina – and if it may be on the cards, therefore producing more tropical lows. And we have the 16 day rainfall forecast. This is a Big Picture outlook that tracks the movement of highs, lows, rain and temperatures over the coming weeks for Australasia.
