Southwesterlies are set to bring showers to western New Zealand on Monday, especially the South Island\u2019s west and south coasts.<\/p>\n
Snow could dust Fiordland down to about 600-700m during the morning.<\/p>\n
Shiviti said the snow should be the last of the season.<\/p>\n
Showers in the west of the North Island could become heavier during the afternoon and continue into the evening, Shiviti said.<\/p>\n
The eastern North Island \u201clooks the place to be\u201d on Monday, with generally fine weather while showers linger in the west, Shiviti said.<\/p>\n
Christchurch residents will wake to patches of frost on Monday before cloud moves in, bringing the chance of an afternoon shower.<\/p>\n
Aucklanders will want to keep a raincoat handy for the start of the working week, with partly cloudy skies and a few showers forecast on Monday.<\/p>\n
The showers will be lighter in the morning, while southwesterly winds will strengthen during the afternoon.<\/p>\n
Wellington has a brighter Monday ahead, with mainly fine weather and only the chance of an afternoon shower.<\/p>\n
Northwesterlies will blow through the capital before turning southwesterly at night.<\/p>\n
Waikato\u2019s Sunday rain was forecast to ease to isolated showers in the evening, with northwesterlies turning southwesterly after a period of strong late-afternoon winds.<\/p>\n
Taranaki will have to wait until Tuesday for its brighter spell, with fine weather apart from isolated showers. <\/p>\n
Tuesday will bring fine weather to Wellington, with westerlies turning northeasterly in the evening, Shiviti said.<\/p>\n
Across the wider North Island, scattered showers will affect western areas on Tuesday before clearing in the evening. Mainly fine weather will prevail elsewhere, he said.<\/p>\n
The South Island\u2019s south and west will also see showers, but these will ease and become isolated later in the day, Shiviti said. <\/p>\n
\u201cThe rest of the island can expect mainly fine weather.\u201d<\/p>\n
