Cloud spreading over the South Island, near a weak low, is causing patchy rain, more frequent in the south and west. Patchy cloud clearing from the upper North Island, near a weak trough, is only causing the odd shower. Skies are remaining mostly clear elsewhere in the north.
Lightning strikes are displayed as crosses and fade from white (current) to red (30 minutes ago) to blue (60 minutes ago).
Rainfall since 9am local time is displayed with coloured dots.
