Heavy Rain Watch Hits North Island | Auckland News

Heavy rain’s on the way for Northland, Auckland north of Ōrewa, and Great Barrier Island—starting Wednesday at 11 AM and lasting until Thursday 1 AM. Expect localized downpours that could hit warning levels as a front sweeps in from the Tasman Sea. Temperatures will stay cool, hovering around mid-teens in afternoons. NEMA urges prep: clear drains, allow extra travel time, and NEVER drive through floodwaters. The wet spell spreads southward through Wednesday, becoming widespread across the North Island by Thursday—with lingering heavy rain possible in Gisborne through Saturday.
