New Zealand’s been experiencing some wild weather this week.
Red wind warnings were issued for much of Canterbury, Marlborough, Wellington and southern Wairarapa as at yesterday afternoon.
Flights and ferries were cancelled and tens of thousands of households have been without power.
Meanwhile, strong winds had been hampering firefighting efforts in several parts of the country.
So, is this usual for this time of year? And how long will we have to wait for some sunny days ahead?
Today on The Front Page, NIWA principal scientist Chris Brandolino is with us to take us through what’s causing this stormy weather, and whether there is light at the end of the tunnel.
