2023 has been quite a year, and many of us are ready and waiting for our summer break to begin.
With music festivals and other entertainment on offer, a lot of us need a break.
But after a year of violent weather, what state are our key roads and highways in before the busy traffic period?
And are we going to get the summer weather we missed out on last year, or could we be in for more of the same?
In this episode, Damien is joined first by NIWA meteorologist Ben Noll for a preview of the weather in the weeks ahead. Then, the AA’s Martin Glynn runs through the roads to avoid when heading on holiday, and finally, NZ Herald entertainment reporter Lillie Rohan details some of the summer cultural highlights.
