NZ is hot before a colder change, we take a look at Tonga’s weather, Cyclone Cody’s remnants track past the Chatham Islands and Alice Springs has a rainmaker bigger than NZ.

In New Zealand the weather is about to change with a significant colder change spreading up the country from Wednesday to Friday. It will only bring a few showers into the North Island. 

We track the temperature drop.

Also, the tropics look very active in the week ahead – with a tropical cyclone risk for Rarotonga and maybe a rainmaker north of NZ early next week.
