Cyclone Gretel could offer some relief to drought stricken parts of the region.
Hawke's Bay has enjoyed a beautiful weekend of clear blue skies and sunny, warm days but according to MetService this week is set to be a bit of a "mix match" week as the remnants of a cyclone pass through on Wednesday.
On Saturday and Sunday temperatures reached the mid twenties, but the upcoming week might just suit those that find themselves having to stay in self isolation or working from home because of the coronavirus.
MetService Meteorologist Paul Ngamanu said while the week ahead at times is mostly fine we should expect periods of showers and some heavy downpours.
