Both NZ and Australia have Autumn like weather, especially the further south you are based over the coming week. Storms in the Southern Ocean are now sending up weekly windy westerlies (a classic sign of Autumn weather patterns) and this means a weekly colder injection of air.

However summer’s heat is still with us too, so expect plenty more settled and sunny days on the way too.

We track NZ’s cold front this Friday/Saturday – and what that means for storm and flood hit regions in the North Island.
