There is a chance the wet weather expected to break the drought for parts of the North Island tomorrow and Tuesday will return by the end of the week, as forecasts hint at an end to the long dry conditions.
Auckland is set to be whipped with 90km/h winds and some areas may be pounded with up to 40mm of rain tomorrow as the tropical low from the north Tasman Sea begins to move down the country.
But that's not all.
Another rain system has developed over Invercargill and looks likely to move north across the country, MetService meteorologist Liz Walsh said.
The low pressure system tracking south from the Tasman Sea is expected to pass over the North Island by Wednesday afternoon, before the wet weather from the south potentially brings more rain to the driest regions.
