Kaiaraara Track, Great Barrier Island – التعليقات والخريطة

The risk of severe thunderstorms in Northland is easing and the Severe Thunderstorm Watch for Northland is lifted.

A moderate risk of severe thunderstorms with localised downpours (25 to 40 mm per hour) remains over Auckland, Great Barrier Island, Waikato, Coromandel Peninsula and Bay of Plenty west of Te Puke until early Wednesday morning. Note, the risk eases from the west tonight and early tomorrow morning.

Rainfall of this intensity can cause surface and/or flash flooding, especially about low-lying areas such as streams, rivers or narrow valleys, and may also lead to slips.

Driving conditions will also be hazardous with surface flooding and poor visibility in heavy rain.

Note: A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favourable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. People in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and monitor for possible Severe Thunderstorm Warnings.
