The wild winds that kept some Aucklanders rugged up indoors last night is set to calm today, with the odd showers expected later out west.

Across the lower North Island heavy rain and northwest gales continued this morning.

Notably, a trampoline took flight on Mackay St, in Wainuiomata, overnight and landed on the roof of another house.

MetService meteorologist Andrew James said strong gusty winds had persisted in Wairarapa and Hawke's Bay this morning.

Overnight top winds had reached about 70km/h at the top of the Sky Tower, 60km/h at a height of 100m in Whangaparoa and 40km/h at the Auckland Airport.

The wind at Castlepoint on the Wairarapa coast had reached 89km/h, and about 102km/h in Mount Kaukau in Wellington.

James said a front was moving over the North Island and there had been a few showers in its trail.

It was gradually clearing and was likely to "be a pretty fine day for Auckland" with the exception of a few more showers this afternoon mainly in the West Coast.

"We are in an easing trend now."

In the South Island there was still a lot of shower activity on the West Coast, he said.

On Monday, a ridge of high pressure will move quickly eastwards across the country and bring more settled weather.

Northwest winds are forecast to strengthen again ahead of an approaching front late on Tuesday.
