New Zealand has been hit by stormy wet weather, with most of the country experiencing  back-to-back months of above average rainfall in June and July. The continued influence of La Niña on NZ weather will keep temperatures on the warmer side for the remainder of 2022, while the western parts of both islands may turn drier during spring.
