There’s been plenty of rain around the North Island in the last 24 hours, with Auckland, Hawke’s Bay, Wairarapa and several other regions in the firing line of some really intense falls.

The low pressure system which brought these rains is moving off to our east, but showers will continue to linger for at least the next couple of days.
