Heavy rain is on the way - please prepare

We have been advised that heavy rain is heading our way again on Monday and Tuesday.

At this stage Metservice has not issued any watches or warning for our District over the weekend. However, we are anticipating some heavy rain from 12pm Monday, 27 October to 12pm Tuesday, 28 October which may approach 70mm over this period.

The rain may be particularly heavy in the Marokopa / Awakino / Mōkau areas, so we would advise people to drive to the conditions, and if they are in low lying areas and close to rivers to keep an eye on the river levels. 

Our district has recently been impacted by flooding and slips. Read more about our affected local roads.  Read more
