While parts of southeast Australia continue to see temperatures well into the 30s, New Zealand is seeing cooler than average temperatures overall in a southwest flow.

Fronts embedded in this flow are bringing a few showers here and there and cool temperatures with gusty sou’ westers at times.There have been exceptions with some inland areas escaping the coolest weather along with some parts of the West Coast.Ahead of the fronts, eastern parts of the country have enjoyed temperatures above average but once the southerly ‘flicks’ come through, the mercury dives for a 24-48 hour period.

Yesterday the eastern part of the mainland was very nippy with temperatures struggling to hit double digits.

Today it should be warmer overall than yesterday but tomorrow it’ll continue that topsy turvy trend and cool off again.
