Metservice meteorologist April Clark told the Rotorua Daily Post weather across the region was looking "turbulent" this week, with a series of frontsheading over the country with calm days in between.
A heavy rain watch had been issued for the Bay of Plenty east of Rotorua tomorrow and Clark said there was a possibility of thunderstorms.
"It's just a watch at the moment but there's potential for heavy rain criteria. It is quite a turbulent time compared to what we have been having recently."
