The wet weather that plagued so many on Saturday has passed and fine weather is predicted today and through to Monday.

A weak front south of Wellington is moving north throughout the day bringing some isolated showers, meteorologist Andrew James said.

"Otherwise there is a ridge pushing onto the country, clearing up the weather a little bit.

"Generally, it is an improving trend, there will be some isolated showers on the east coast on the North Island and some light showers elsewhere.

It was the same prediction for isolated showers in the east of the South Island before gradually clearing this afternoon.

"It's still pretty cold from the southerlies early this week."

Monday would be even "finer" aside from some isolated showers on the west coast of the South Island, James said.
