After a drenching in many western areas yesterday, the showery weather will continue across the country into the final day of Easter weekend.
Temperatures will also cool as there's a switch to southwest winds, the MetService says.
Duty forecaster Andrew James said the West Coast and Taranaki had received abattering from rain and gale force winds overnight as a front and low made its way up the country.

Mt Taranaki had received more than 100mm, while wind speeds had reached up to 80km/h at New Plymouth Airport.
A light rainbow forms over west Hamilton this morning as another band of showers moves through the city.
But there were still many watches and warnings in place for the North Island for early today.
"The rain and wind are on there way out this morning for most places and then continuing to improve as we head into tomorrow.
"But behind this front we go into a showery southwesterly so that means there will be fine breaks in between as well after this heading into tomorrow. Most of the showers are confined to the western parts of both islands."
