The spring weather pattern around New Zealand and Australia normally fades out over December, but at this time of year we can have strong moments of summer-like weather followed by a burst of more spring-like, colder & wetter & windier weather.

The week ahead is just that with a cooler southerly flow returning to NZ this week – only to be replaced by milder northerlies again late week or weekend.

A low from Australia could bring a SIGNIFICANT deluge to Vic/NSW coastal border with up to 200mm coming in the 3 days ahead. That same low will drift to NZ this weekend but in a much weaker state, bringing rain mostly to the West Coast with up to 100mm there. Not so much elsewhere – many of you will be relieved to hear.
