Showers there in westerly and NW conditions? As worded, that unvetted (by human skill) forecast looks like complete rubbish. It's either nonsense, or the wording needs changing.
Might pick up a light shower today, otherwise remaining warm and sunny with maximum temperatures between 22C and 30C for the next week. Overnight lows will remain comfortable, between 10C and 14C.
The record low for the United Kingdom in May is -9.4c which is surpisingly warm. Saying, that I recorded a low of -0.7c on June 18th this summer, I do not consider -2c impressive at all in a month that is comparable to the start of May here. New zealand does not have Icy weather its record low max is 0.4c, which is pretty weak considering my record low max is -9c.
It's true that freezing would be extremely rare in coastal areas, but some inland areas, particularly in the South Island would see them more often. Around here, places that wouldn't see the sun for 2 months or so can quite easily see sub zero days. I have seen freezing temps at a small town near here, in full sun and at low altitude, at midday. Further south would have lots more places where it can happen, although it would probably still be newsworthy.
The coldest maximum I've seen for NZ is -21.1C/-6F (1903) which is rather chilly.

That was an exceptionally cold spell at a Ranfurly site (-25.6C NZ record low was recorded there the next day); don't know details of its exposure. Nothing anywhere near these values has been recorded in recent years as far as maxima go, but there are some sub-zero days in places not shaded by hills - Alexandra has the odd day in fog/hoar frost conditions.
I had 22.4mm of rain on late Friday and Saturday, but no storms, unfortunately. The models are showing the potential for storms next weekend, though. It better happen, because I certainly don't want a repeat of last year's stormless November.
It seems like lately all the news have been talking about was weather. When it wasnt the brutal heatwave, were the elecricity shutdowns, that affected like half the city and thousands of traffic lights and all lines of sbuway, when its not that, then one huge storm and rain that flooded all the city. It seems lately all have been about climate.
They havent been talking about climate since fridays storm. Wich is awesome. No-talking-about the climate in TV, means climate is comfortable and everyone is happy
Melbourne is a subarctic maritime climate.... I mean mid November and STILL the majority of days are under 22C with hearty handful of 18-19C crap, that's foul even for here
Christchurch has a more intense subarctic climate with distinct polar influences. In other words, it is freaking ice cold most of the year as you have shown.
