Why do the large high pressure zones single out NZ, completely covering them? I assume its to do with the landmass contributing to it? Also noticed how low pressure has shot up into the Canterbury plains and Southland.

Simple answer: NZ is small compared to the size of high pressure systems. One August we can have a high sitting over us for 3 weeks bringing dry weather and the next August full of lows. NZ is in a very chaotic part of the world weather-wise and our small, mountainous, size makes it even more messy!

I expect that there will be some sunshine, with the odd rainy day here and there. Expect some nor’westers at some point. That’s about as specific as anyone will be able to be from three months away, because this is a weather forecasting site and not your local spirit medium.
