Severe thunderstorm warning - Thursday 3 July 2025

Alongside the heat and humidity, we are also expecting a severe thunderstorm.

Metservice has issued a RED severe thunderstorm warning for parts of our district this evening.

Metservice weather radar detected a line of severe thunderstorms that are expected to be accompanied by very heavy rain.

Impact: Very heavy rain can cause surface and/or flash flooding about streams, gullies and urban areas, and make driving conditions extremely hazardous.

Take some time now to get prepared ahead of worst weather setting in.

Take care while out and about and drive safely and to the conditions.
