Weatherwatch have put out their forecast for Easter this morning - and it looks like rain across the board.
On Thursday, the day before the long weekend kicks off, holidaymakers might find driving of flying to their holiday destinations not so flash. The sub-tropical weather across the country is expected to peak with intense downpours and gusty northerlies.
By Friday, a wind flow from the Southern Ocean will replace the sub-tropical flow meaning coastal clouds and a few showers. It's expected to be a much drier day than Thursday.
On Saturday, a high well wets of New Zealand and a low well east will bring more clouds and possibly a small area of showers around the bay of Plenty and Coromandel Peninsula. Easter Sunday looks cloudy with winds in some areas.
