Another big high pressure zone is heading to NZ next week before skirting southern Australia – and this will bring a cold change right over New Zealand on Monday and Tuesday. It’s fairly short lived but it will hack back temperatures by several degrees (for some by day, for others both day and night).

Australia is quite settled but showers and east to south east winds dominate from Sydney northwards along the eastern coastline, and a colder southerly for WA arrives on Monday.

The Tropics sees low pressure deepening and passing over the Cook Islands but clears away next couple days.Show less
