High pressure and warm nor’westers are the theme of July’s final weekend – and the final week looks to be dominated by a very large area of low pressure over the Tasman Sea and then covering NZ.

There is also a portion of very cold air coming in to the south of NZ – and this may turn rain to snow to lower levels (Sea level snow is not currently in our forecast). We bring you the latest.
