Rain coming for dry regions - so too is an enormous high before Easter - (10/04/19)

Rain is moving up the West Coast today with heavy falls while a few showers are affecting some western parts of the North Island.

As we head into Thursday this cold front crosses the North Island with a burst of rain and showers - it may not be enough for the driest regions but it will be helpful.

Colder southerlies surge off and on over the days ahead but a large high rolls in next week and looks likely to linger right up until - and possibly through - Easter weekend.
