Heavy rain and possible thunderstorms will dampen some parts of the North Island but the wild weather will leave by the long weekend.
Heavy showers are expected for parts of the North Island, including Auckland and Northland, today.
The temperature in Auckland will reach a maximum of 16C today with possible thunderstorms, Metservice meteorologist Derek Holland said.
However, it will clear by Thursday.
Whangarei should reach a maximum of 17C with showers today.
