No more shivering mornings in Northland - at least until early next week - as rain and northeast winds are set to replace icy temperatures experienced over the past few days.
MetService said a front approaching from the Tasman Sea was expected to reach the country late today and move east over New Zealand tomorrow that should push daytime temperatures in Northland to about 16C and between 9C and 12C during the night.
