Kiwis are waking to drizzling rain and warmer temperatures this morning ahead of a new cold change hitting on the weekend.

New Plymouth was the country's wettest town early this morning with 3.8mm falling, MetService said.

Alexandra was the coldest with a low of -2.2C at 5.30am, while Whitianga was the warmest with a low of 15.7C.

Wellington was one of the windiest spots with a 33km/h wind at Lyall Bay.

Fellow forecaster WeatherWatch said rainfall levels shouldn't be too heavy today and that most regions can expect warmer than average temperatures - apart from the Southern Alps where snow is set to fall.

But a cooler change is on its way, blowing in on Saturday and pushing temperatures down into next week.

On the plus side, many regions will see sunny skies next week, WeatherWatch said.

Aucklanders can expect occasional showers this morning before a fine afternoon and top of 17C, MetService said.
