New Zealand has a chilly week this week with south to south east winds blowing over the North Island to begin with and a large frosty high moves over the South Island.

A few showers and snow flurries will affect the Hawkes Bay Ranges this week but rain returns to the north and north east over the coming days and doesn’t clear untill the end of the week – in facat it may take until Friday to have a dry day in most/all main centres.
