New Zealand's northern coastline is expecting heavy rain around Northland, drifting towards Auckland and Coromandel Peninsula during the day. A rare low so large it's likely to cover both Australia and New Zealand is expected this week, with heavy rain forecast to fall on both countries on Thursday. In Australia the southeastern coast has been warned by Australia's Bureau of Meteorology about a very wet southeasterly starting on Wednesday and carrying on into Thursday.
