Temperatures are forecast to fall to single digits in some parts of New Zealand as southerly winds sweep away the showery weather.
MetService forecaster Matthew Ford told the Herald the showery weather across the country would gradually ease tonight and tomorrow.
“There are a lot of showers affecting the NorthIsland today but they should start to ease tomorrow and be confined to the eastern and southern areas,” he said.

Ford said a high-pressure system would settle across the country and remain dominant until Monday.
“The weather should be very settled ... there should be plenty of clear skies and reasonably widespread frosts.”
Before yesterday's heavy rain event we experienced several days of very quiet weather, and it looks like we're headed back in that direction again
