It certainly feels like weāve had a cooler than average August here in the far north. Is that linked to the SSW event over Antarctica? And I see thereās another potentially larger SSW event thatās going to affect our weather in a few weeks time, is that correct?

While over the Northern Hemisphere, we see an unusually weak start to the Stratospheric Polar Vortex. And an abrupt end to the active Summer pattern over North America, switching directly into an Autumn pattern in early September.

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!
