Concerns for further impactful weather prompts MetService Red Warnings
30/1/2023
Covering period of Mon 30 Jan - Thu 2 Feb
After consultation with the local regional councils MetService has issued Red Warnings for Heavy Rain in Northland, Auckland north of Orewa, and the Coromandel Peninsula.
The Red Warnings have been triggered because of the likely impacts - significant flooding, slips, and further damage to roads and power networks. Previous heavy rainfall since Friday means that these regions are already saturated, still cleaning up from the last event, and are vulnerable to further heavy rain.
