Can Wanaka and Tekapo still go? Will the weather in the South Island be good in a week ?

I went to the South Island on January 31st. It has only rained one day so far, and the rest of the time it's either windy or sunny. There have been floods on the West Coast and the South recently, but these places are not on my itinerary. So far I have visited Christchurch, Tekapo, Pukaki, Wanaka, and my next stop is Queenstown. The weather forecast for Queenstown on the 8th is rain.
I was in Tekapo yesterday, the next day, and the sky is clear today.
The weather in Wanaka is also very nice today.
It's better to avoid the rainy season.
The weather in Pukaki and Wanaka is really great today! Just came back to the hostel after buying stuff, only bought hand sanitizer...
