The first snow of the year falls on the Church of the Good Shepherd at Lake Tekapo/Takapō during the past week. MetService says snow could fall to as low as 700m in the Canterbury High Country on Tuesday.
The weather this weekend is likely to be changeable across much of the country, but for many areas that’s better than the conditions forecast for the first few days of next week.
MetService is forecasting snow down to 500 metres in Southland on Monday and to 300m on Tuesday, and around Dunedin to 600m on Monday and 400m on Tuesday. Westerly or southwesterly winds could also get to gale strength about the coast in both areas.
