New Zealand is in for more damp, as the summer rains continue across the country on Wednesday,  but two areas will be exempt from the clouds and drizzle.

Metservice is forecasting Queenstown and Greymouth will both have fine days, with no cloud or drizzle forecast, perhaps a bit of light wind the only downside.

For the rest of the country, the day is expected to contain at least some cloud or showers, with showers expected.
