This month around New Zealand, Australia and the region we see big highs and big lows – bringing decent stretches of variety with our weather.

For those who need more rain in southern Australia and Hawke’s Bay in New Zealand – there may not be a lot of relief on the way, but some rain is possible. We show you how much and where.

High pressure is still quite large – and this month drifts further into the tropics, creating the peak of the dry season for the tropics.  These big highs still look set to be in the mix for both NZ and Australia – but by mid July the Southern Ocean may be the more dominant force, with a large pool of low pressure which may affect the SE of Australia into a large part of New Zealand

July looks to be a month of big lows and big highs – bringing variety to many regions in the south and around NZ, and keeping conditions fairly dry and settled in the tropical region.
