Widespread Heavy Rain Warnings Across Regions
- Northland and adjacent regions face an impactful multi-hazard event with heavy rain warnings including orange and heavy rain alerts across multiple areas.
- Warnings cover Northland (east of Kakohi to Whangarei), Great Barrier, Auckland north of Whangaparoa, Coromandel, Tasman and Richmond.
Stay Off Roads During Closures
- Avoid driving if you don't need to because key state highways are closing due to flooding and trees down.
- Peter DeGraff reports SH1 closed at Mangamuka, SH11 closed west of Pai, and known flooding at SH10 where the Kaio River is already across the road.
Evacuate If Your Home Was Previously Damaged
- People whose homes were already damaged should evacuate or leave if advised to do so, as prior damage increases vulnerability.
- Civil Defence and local agencies advised anyone with prior damage to have left last night ahead of renewed rainfall.
