Heavy rain last night fell across parts of Auckland, Northland and Coromandel Peninsula and this morning continues to fall across parts of Waikato and Bay of Plenty.

For weeks now a drying trend has kicked in – and while this rain maker isn’t the end of the dry weather it is perfectly timed.

In recent days more and more farmers have told WeatherWatch.co.nz that conditions where they are, are either drier than average or drier than they were this time last year.  

However the long range forecast shows this low may be the last big ran maker for a week or two in northern areas.  A few showers are in the forecast but the long range maps still indicate that November will end drier than it started for many places.
