Becareful on the roads this arvo/evening โ๏ธ
Ahi ahi mฤrie โ as youโll have seen, weโve got a Severe Thunderstorm Watch from for Auckland, just in time for school pickup and rush hour ๐ซ (3pm to 8pm today). For our whฤnau on Aotea Great Barrier, the timing of your watch has changed slightly (5pm to 10 pm).
Some friendly reminders:
โ Stay alert as weโve got potential for localised heavy downpours, strong winds and even the low risk of a small tornado. Look out for surface and flash flooding and remember NEVER drive, walk or play in floodwaters.
๐Keep updated with the latest forecast on the MetService website or download the app from Google Play or the App Store. Thereโs a new feature in the app - you can turn on Severe Weather alerts to now get notifications for ALL watches and warnings. Just go to Notifications > Severe Weather, switch it on, and choose your location.
โ๏ธAs always, to report stormwater issues and flooding to the council call 09 301 0101. If your life or property is in danger, call 111 immediately.
Take care out there!
