Weather analyst Philip Duncan with nzherald.co.nz bring you the latest on the large Tasman Sea low that’s heading towards the North Island and will bring a warmer, wetter week to the island – starting with a band of rain overnight tonight and across Tuesday – then a few days of cloud, showers, patches of rain and even some sun (messy forecast!).

The South Island is on the edge of this low which means cloudy, cooler weather will continue for most regions, but the lower South Island will see some of the sunniest and driest weather, ahead of the next cold snap this weekend.
