This weekend, the West Coast and South Island headwaters are expected to experience “significant” rainfall, with orange heavy rain warnings in effect until Saturday, according to MetService.

While most of New Zealand will see warmer temperatures in the coming days, a front is predicted to bring heavy rain to western and southern parts of the South Island.

Westland’s mayor, Helen Lash, mentioned that the district is prepared for any disruptions or flooding caused by the heavy rain. She highlighted that regional council river management staff and police are already in key areas, ready to respond if needed.

Minister for Emergency Management, Mark Mitchell, is on his way to the West Coast to assess the situation, particularly focusing on how the Waiho River copes with the forecasted deluge.

Lash emphasized the importance of caution for visitors unfamiliar with the conditions in the region, especially while driving in potentially hazardous weather.

Several orange heavy rain warnings are in place for various districts, with significant rainfall expected in different areas of the South Island. Additionally, a strong wind watch is in effect for certain regions.

MetService meteorologist Lewis Ferris highlighted the warm and humid conditions contributing to the heavy rain along the West Coast, with the potential for intense rainfall amounts.

As the wet weather is expected to move to the North Island on Sunday, precautions are being taken to monitor and prepare for any severe weather events.

The Milford Sound Highway has been closed as a precaution, and motorists are advised to be cautious of wet conditions and potential hazards on the roads.

Overall, it is essential for residents and visitors to stay informed, exercise caution, and be prepared for changing weather conditions during this period.
