Heavy Rain & Warm Spells Ahead | Auckland News

Heavy rain is rolling in across Northland, Auckland north of Ōrewa, and Great Barrier Island, with a 15-hour storm front set to peak late morning through afternoon—bringing scattered showers and possible thunderstorms. The system, moving from the west, will sweep down the country, hitting Westland and Fiordland next, while the east coast from Tairāwhiti to Wairarapa clears by afternoon. The Southern Alps will shield eastern South Island areas, though light showers may still hit Marlborough to Dunedin. A strong northerly wind builds along the South Island’s east coast, with the system stretching from Auckland to the southwest by midnight. And yes—unseasonably warm temps ahead: Kaikōura hits 18°C tomorrow thanks to a warming north-westerly flow. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
