New Zealand ‘weather bomb’ brings snow during height of summer
South Island hit with snow and flooding while parts of North experience record highs

..... The New Zealand MetService said “extreme” weather events such as the weather bomb were becoming increasingly common in the country, which already had challenging weather patterns because of its close proximity to Antarctica and its narrow, alpine environment.
‘Weather bomb’
“This weather bomb was caused by a burst of really hot air coming out of Australia and forming a low when it moved into the Tasman sea, and then picking up moisture and increasing in intensity,” said Mads Naeraa-Spiers, a forecaster for the MetService.
“It brought heavy rain, gale-force winds and cold-wet southerlies. Cardrona snow field looked like it should the middle of winter, not summer.”
Naerra-Spiers said rapid floods on the west coast were an ongoing concern, while high winds had flipped cars and caused “flying trampolines”.
