Highs: 20 to 29

SOUTH ISLAND:
Rain, heavy at times on the West Coast, easing later in the day. Showers are possible in Southland, Otago and Nelson otherwise dry for most others. Nor’west winds for many, turning more west to south west later in the day for some.
Highs: 14 to 24 (hottest in the north east, coolest in the southern half of the island)
