Northerlies will develop this weekend in NZ bringing a mild Sunday, while a wintry change in Australia’s south east will head our way by the start of the new week.

Tuesday and Wednesday once again look cold across NZ with snow flurries (light ones) possible in Northern Southland to perhaps only 100 metres, while snow flurries will again fall as far north as Mt Ruapehu and even the Desert Road. But snow totals don’t look huge due to incoming high pressure behind it.

In Australia it’s settled for a large portion of the continent but by a wintry change kicks in this weekend for TAS and VIC in particular – and brushes ACT and some parts of NSW.
