We have plenty of rain, showers and drizzle across NZ today as a cold front and associated weak low pressure system move into the North Island.

The southerly change in the south will drop temperatures and bring rain in to the north and along the eastern side (while clearing from the south west). It will move into the lower North Island later in the day.

Meanwhile the North Island has a rain band moving in with some heavy falls but dry and sunny in the north and east to start with.
