We’re entering a warmer phase of weather in many parts of NZ, one that may linger for another 14 days.

WeatherWatch.co.nz says the new westerly flow, which kicks in properly over the next 24 hours, will lift temperatures above normal in many places.

We may still see a few frosts – and next week we have snow forecast in the south for a time – but overall the nation is entering a warmer phase of weather for this time of the year.
