Who's ready for a long weekend? 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️ Whatever your plans are, it'd be best to stay on top of the forecast with MetService New Zealand as more active, and possibly significant, weather is likely Monday and Tuesday. Why the active weather? Unusually warm 🟠 & cold 🔵 air will battle, creating an ideal set-up for low pressure, and ultimately, wind rain & wind. We'll also need to watch for a late season cold snap & low elevation snow. 😲 ~Chris | NIWA Weather
