‘Very Wet Weather’ forecast for Auckland tonight

John Dragicevich

Auckland, April 12, 2018

The number of households still affected by Tuesday evening’s storm is continuing to trend downwards.

Much of Auckland is returning to normal but we are hearing anecdotally that there may be a small number of households whose waste water tanks need electricity to run and, given that power is still to be restored in some areas, we want to make sure that all Aucklanders have access to toilet facilities.

We unfortunately do not have data on how many people may be in this situation but we encourage anyone without access to a toilet or drinking water because of the storm to phone us on 0800-222200.

We will take their details and get a portaloo and portable drinking water source to them tomorrow.

Weather Forecast tonight

Here is a reminder about tonight’s weather forecast

Auckland Metservice meteorologist Georgina Griffiths says that tonight’s weather is expected to be very different to the previous storm.

A fast-moving front brings a windy and wet night to Auckland, but people living in eastern or central parts of Auckland are unlikely to experience gusts anywhere near as large as previously seen.

Aucklanders are encouraged to clear their gutters of leaves and debris if it is safe to do so and to check on their neighbours.

John Dragicevich is Emergency Management Director at Auckland Council.
