A large low from the Tasman Sea is moving into New Zealand over the next couple of days and while the system will partially fall apart it will bring some heavy rain into both islands.

It will also come with varying surges of wind around the North Island and upper South Island.

As always we strongly suggest you visit www.RuralWeather.co.nz to break it all down locally, also by using the Hourly forecasts at WeatherWatch.
