Weather the winner in NZ
New Zealand’s weather turned quickly into winter mode over the weekend with reports across the country of plummeting temperatures and snow falls.
Snow fell over the country yesterday for the first time this winter, closing roads and causing traffic delays.
Temperatures in the south only just made double digits as the southerly raced up the country.
Christchurch’s temperature reached just below 10degC after the arrival of the southerly between 9am and 10am yesterday.
In Queenstown, the mercury could only manage 8degC.
The eastern coast of the North Island should also brace itself for gale-force winds.
All Interislander ferry sailings today have been cancelled owing to rough weather in Cook Strait, Toll Shipping said.
The company said it decided not to sail because of winds gusting up to 45 knots with swells of 6m expected to rise to 8m during the day.
Meanwhile, a moderately sized earthquake hit the Wellington region early this morning.
The magnitude five quake struck the area at 5.32am.
GNS Science said it was centred 40km north-west of Porirua and was 60km deep. The quake was felt throughout the Wellington area.
