There is mostly a low risk of thunderstorms affecting Northland south of the Bay of Islands this morning and afternoon. However, there is a moderate risk that convection embedded in the rain band will produce localised downpours with rain rates of 25 to 40 mm/h.\n\nRainfall 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. \nDriving conditions will also be hazardous with surface flooding and poor visibility in heavy rain.", "link": "https://alerts.metservice.com/cap/alert?id=2.49.0.0.554.0.tswatch.nz.20250728232845860.1" }
