Hawke's Bay is shaping up to be the ideal place to spend the school holidays, while children in the rest of the country are poised to spend the first week of the break indoors.
After a few days of "pretty horrible" weather, Hawke's Bay is set to miss most of
the extreme weather, with today starting "fine and frosty", Metservice meteorologist Tom Adams said.
MetService issued a severe weather warning yesterday for Fiordland, the ranges of Buller, northwest Nelson and Mount Taranaki.
Heavy rain in these areas could cause rivers and streams to rise, possibly resulting in surface flooding and slips.
Canterbury, Marlborough, Wellington and Wairarapa have also received windy weather warnings at a strength that could cause damage to trees and property.
