Episode description

New Zealand’s summer is shaping up to be hotter and drier than average.

The country’s forecast has shrugged off the rainy start to summer with temperatures soaring into the 30s in some parts in the coming week.

But, moving through January and February, the weather patterns are predicted to become more La Nina-like, which would bring increased chances of more rain events.

So as the country gears up for a summer break, today on The Front Page, we’re looking at what is on the cards weather-wise for the weeks and months ahead with MetService meteorologist John Law.
