Heavy rain drenches the upper North Island, with warnings for the Coromandel and Bay of Plenty—some areas could see up to 100mm. Southern coasts near Wellington and Wairarapa face swells, while strong winds loom for Wellington and Marlborough. And in the South Island, snow threatens higher passes like Lewis and Arthur’s—drivers need to tread carefully. Low pressure and a southward front are fueling this messy, widespread weather pattern.
