Rain is on the way for parts of the North Island in more need of moisture in the soil – with a burst of rain coming in from a low pressure system coming through.

This system kicks off a period of about 7 days of rain, showers and drizzle for the West Coast, but while that’s happening eastern parts of the South Island are looking at drying out even more.
