Good news from the weatherman - the wet and wild weather that hit the North Island yesterday will ease in time for the start of the school holidays.
Aucklanders will wake up to a cooler morning today compared to the past few days, with the weather being dictated by a southerly wind.
As the front moves off to the east today, cooler southwest winds are also set to return temperatures to normal for this time of year for the South Island.
