RainWatch: Your detailed 7 Day NZ rain forecast

We track the isolated showers this weekend but more importantly a Tasman Sea low later next week which should bring areas of rain to both main islands. Some regions are incredibly dry for this time of year and the wet weather will be very welcome - but it’s still not locked in. We give you the most detailed rain forecast in NZ - but also tell you what could “break” this rain forecast.
