Nelson and Marlborough, excluding the Kaikoura Coast Plenty of Sunday sunshine - however there will be some evening cloudy periods.

Cloudy periods too for Kaikoura Coast and Canterbury and a few showers could develop this morning.

Buller to Fiordland and also Stewart Island Mostly cloudy with isolated showers, clearing from Buller to Westland this morning with fine breaks developing.
