![]() Of course winter storms are possible right through until as late as December. Here's hoping the winds stay south easterly, because when they swing to the east or north east they can often drag cloud and even the odd little shower in. ![]() Mind you, sometimes highs can trap low cloud in them - Auckland is especially exposed to these "dirty highs". We have our lack of ozone layer to thank for that one. That means if you're fair skinned you could actually get burnt in about 30 or 40 minutes - just have that in the back of you mind if you're out and about this weekend. All across New Zealand buds are coming out, daffodils are in full bloom, the grass is starting to grow again (well, in the areas where it's not 2 feet under water!) and lambs and calves are gracing our roadsides.Īt this time of year I start to not care about winter storms - it's as if they're powerless to bring me down because I'm already feeling so positive about Spring! Not to mention the sun feels much warmer now - in fact, if you live from Auckland northwards the burn time is already at "moderate" or "4". Spring in New Zealand officially starts on Monday - September 1st - and that day is also looking spring-like. In fact winter - after being such a wet one - is going to go out in style with sun and warmth for many spots. There may be a few little showers in the far north as that easterly kicks in but the warmth in the air will make it feel completely spring-like. The weekend is looking dry and calm for pretty much everyone. The high - which matches that of a summer time one in size and strength - will spread over the country during Thursday clearing skies in a number of regions and helping dry out the saturated ground at both ends of the country. Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy- and hopefully those lyrics will be true for many New Zealanders this week as a huge high pressure system rolls onto the country!
