Becareful on the roads this arvo/evening ⛈️
Ahi ahi mārie – as you’ll have seen, we’ve got a Severe Thunderstorm Watch from for Auckland, just in time for school pickup and rush hour 😫 (3pm to 8pm today). For our whānau on Aotea Great Barrier, the timing of your watch has changed slightly (5pm to 10 pm).
Some friendly reminders:
☔ Stay alert as we’ve 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.
👍Keep updated with the latest forecast on the MetService website or download the app from Google Play or the App Store. There’s 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.
❗️As 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!
