Yes, it does look like it as an anticyclone stalls and intensifies to the east of the country next week.

Looks like the incoming High mid week will deliver some cold air to the country. There are signs a sub tropical airmass/ heavy rain may reach northern NZ mid next week, something to watch.

Sounds like a southerly change has arrived - wind booming in the chimney as it does from that direction.
Temp. 7 degrees - seems to have gone up a tad in the last half-hour

Interesting to compare Australia with NZ this time of year, much better Spring climate over there. Perhaps the Summers are better here, comfortable Summer weather here.

Yes Metservice forecasted snow to 500metres but the models showed the very cold air slipping east of the country?

I think anticyclonic gloom is my least favourite weather. I'd rather it rained. I'm having post-traumatic flashbacks to last (sunless) summer today!

I think I may have tempted fate by installing solar downlights on my new deck. You have to leave them off until they've had a solid 8 hours of uninterrupted sun to fully charge the batteries. At this rate I'll be able to turn them on some time after Christmas. ;)
