This is good news for the hydro catchments, which have been running (highly) unusually low. Keep up-to-date with MetService New Zealand and warnings that have been issued. | NIWA Weather | Facebook

As more heavy rain impacts New Zealand today, river flows are forecast to become well above normal (🔵) to extremely high (🟣). If river flooding were to occur, it's most likely to happen where flows become extremely high. Given recent rain events, flooding is of most concern for the top of the South Island. However, localised flooding and/or flash flooding is possible in other areas where MetService New Zealand has warnings in place. Be sure to follow the advice of emergency officials. | NIWA W
