Don't be surprised to see farmers dancing in the rain this afternoon.
Thunderstorms and heavy rain are part of the mix predicted for Southland and Otago.
Forecasters say it's possible the rain will come down at between 25 and 40 millimetres an hour.
It'll be especially welcome in Otago, where there's been precious little rain since before Christmas.
