Hey Jet, it does snow in Nelson although extremely rarely due to the reasons you mention – the mountains surround you and block the moisture when it’s a southerly. Last time it snowed in Nelson was in August 2011 (in fact I think it was Aug 14th from memory) and that event brought heavy sea level snow as far north as Wellington and some snow (that briefly settled) around both Auckland and Northland – so that was a very rare (one in a 30+ year) event.
Cheers 🙂

Hi Phil, Canterbury Weather Updates are warning of very cold temperatures, heavy rain for Canterbury and potentially snow to low levels towards the end of next week. Does this align with what you’re seeing or is it too far out to accurately predict?

Hi Andrew, THIS week we do see some cold weather Fri/Sat with snow in the mountains, ranges and maybe the foothills (snow forecast in Arthur’s Pass, then the North Island’s Central Plateau this weekend). NEXT week looks very cold inland as powerful high pressure moves over/near the South Island, but can’t see snow to low levels at this stage.
Cheers
Phil.

Hi Jet, yes several months ago I mentioned you – I can’t remember when, but I said hello to you as there were thunderstorms in the Nelson area back then 🙂
