Ex-tropical cyclone Hola has hit New Zealand, but will only affect the North Island.
Niwa principal scientist for forecasting Chris Brandolino says there will be quite a lot of rainfall across Coromandel, Gisborne and Hawke's Bay but Christchurch can expect a beautiful day.
For Ōtautahi it will be a sunny day with a high of 22 degrees.
Brandolino says the South Island will get a bit colder by midweek with some showers on Tuesday but it will not be related to the ex-tropical cyclone.
