A look back on the major weather events for Christchurch and the wider South Island in 2019. The 2010s was a warm decade, and it's appropriately coming to an end with a warm, dry New Year's Eve across New Zealand. "A warm front approaches the South Island tonight and tomorrow. It doesn't quite get onto the South Island, but ahead of it are warm northwesterlies." Then on Wednesday the warmest places will be in the east of the South Island and into lower North Island.
