Pockets of drizzle, dry spells and downpours are all in the mix, bringing some areas of relief – especially around the upper North Island.

The broken up rain bands are messy and complicated – view hourly rainfall risks and rain radar to monitor wet weather risks across the day.

Large areas will miss out on rain in the coming days – but the low pressure zone(s) mean instability. In other words, wet weather can form with little warning (drizzle or heavier falls). A few isolated northern thunderstorms may be possible with daytime heating on Monday afternoon.

Highest risk for severe weather is in the top half of the North Island.

📉Doesn't happen too often, but some parts of #Auckland are around 10 degrees cooler today compared to Saturday (when some suburbs reached 28 to 30 degrees).
