Hi Helen/Pete… we anticipate some snow flakes but nothing too heavy at this stage. Check out last news story and Queens Birthday forecast for the latest weather predictions…but we currently anticipate the front to only brush Canterbury – looking more like a central North Island snow event… something we’d say pretty rarely!
Regards

Hi Matt,
We don’t anticipate too much for Invercargill – the Catlins will see the worst of it. Could be some sleet and maybe a snow flake or two. Otherwise just wind cold and partly cloudy.
