(C) NZ Regional Weather Updates

26/10/2025

Kia ora koutou e te whānau,

More heavy rain and strong winds are on the way.
MetService New Zealand has issued orange severe weather warnings for many regions across the country tomorrow into Tuesday. Check if your region will be affected and stay up to date with the latest weather information and warnings at www.metservice.com/warnings and make sure to follow any instructions from your local Civil Defence group and emergency services.
You can prepare for severe weather by:
❗Bringing inside or tying down anything that can be broken or picked up by strong winds, such as outdoor furniture. If you have a trampoline, turn it upside down to minimise the surface area exposed to wind.
❗Remove any debris or loose items from around your property. Branches and firewood may become missiles in strong winds.
❗Bring pets indoors. They can be unsettled by storms and it is more comforting and safer for them to be with you.
❗Clear your drains and gutters to prepare for heavy rain. Avoid low-lying areas and drive cautiously.
❗Remember do not try to walk, play, swim, or drive in floodwater.
If you’re traveling tomorrow, check road conditions and closures before you go and keep essential items in your car in case you get stranded in your vehicle for a long time.

🚗Plan your trip using the NZTA Journey Planner here: www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz/journey-planner
🌩️You can find more information about how to get ready for a storm at https://getready.govt.nz/emergency/storms

As more severe weather makes it way towards us, make sure to take care of yourself and check in on your friends, whānau and neighbours, especially anyone who may be elderly, isolated, or without communications.

For anyone travelling home after a long weekend break, make sure to plan your journey, pack extra supplies in case you get stranded, and if you feel unsafe, consider delaying your travel if you can. To check for state highway closures, visit: www.journeys.nzta.govt.nz/highway-conditions

You can keep up to date with the latest weather information from MetService New Zealand

Listen to advice provided by your local Civil Defence Emergency Management Group and emergency services and follow any instructions. Put safety first. Don’t take any chances.
