[edit]During April 7, as the system's remnants moved to the east of Norfolk Island, a depression developed along one of its cloudbands which New Zealand's Met Service tracked as an extension of Zuman. This secondary system produced several short bursts of heavy rain over parts of the North Island including 30 millimetres (1.2 in) in an hour at Gisborne Airport.
