In this update, the weather is set to improve today
after a period of heavy rain for the top and
bottom of the South Island. Met Service currently has no
warnings or watches in place on its map and says
there may even be fine spells throughout the South Island today.
Meteorologist Devon Linden says that doesn't mean people should be
(00:26):
less careful. Just because it's a sunny day doesn't mean
that everything's perfect. Of course, in the Tasman Nelson area
there's still lots of surface flooding as things drain out there.

South Island following to rental rain. One person died yesterday

out despite warnings that they can be issued with fines.
A woman who turned out for the event told Sky
News the band had spurred her on. She says people
need to come out for the event to show the
world that Hungary is welcoming to everyone. That's news in Sport.

who is preparing to follow in his footsteps. The midfielder
has spent seven months with Irish club Leinster, helping them
win the United Rugby Championship. Rico Joanni will join Leinster
at the end of the international campaign. Barrett has offered
these words of advice just being open book. You don't
know what you don't know, and I learned so much
(02:37):
that very port me for the rest of my career.
Satisfaction for Liam Lawson to finally convert practice pace into
