Severe Winter Conditions Expected in Some Parts This Week

"This isn't a storm, but it is creating severe winter conditions," Duncan explains.

While the South Island braces for heavy snow at higher elevations and potential travel disruptions, the North Island is experiencing unusual subtropical warmth.

He also touches on the broader impacts of climate change on winter weather patterns globally, making for a thought-provoking discussion on the evolving nature of our weather.
