It seems the top of the country can't catch a break with more heavy rain set to drench the sodden region tomorrow.
As the storm-ravaged region begins a massive clean-up after the weekend's one-in-500-year flood that trapped people in waist-deep water, MetService meteorologist Andy Best said any hope of sun and fine weather would be short-lived.
"While there's some respite for Northland today unfortunately on Tuesday we're expecting more rain," he said.
And there was no immediate hope of the weather improving until Thursday.
