Heavy snow warnings issued for South Island's east coast
The coldest blast of winter so far is starting to move on to the south of the country ahead of expected disruption from heavy snow on Tuesday night and Wednesday.
MetService has issued heavy snow warnings for much of Canterbury and Marlborough, and parts of Central Otago, from Tuesday evening until Wednesday afternoon, advising that snow will fall as low as 200 metres causing problems for travellers and farmers.
Below 200m, sleet and heavy rain may also be a problem for Christchurch and parts of Banks Peninsula on Wednesday morning.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
