A storm south of NZ will bring severe weather into parts of Australia and NZ until early next week.

The South Island and Tasmania are more wintry while the North Island is more Autumn-like.

Heavy rain, heavy snow, severe gales and thunderstorms make up the forecast – but some regions will be mostly dry and fairly sunny.

We break down the details of this large storm which lingers south of NZ until the middle of next week.

⚠️Over the next several days there will be isolated pockets of severe weather right across the country, moving in from the west.
