The latest Auckland weather updates are causing a stir! From radar issues to speedways becoming waterfalls, it's a wild ride! 🌧️⛈️ #WeatherMadness
The Auckland rain radar, crucial for monitoring weather patterns, remains offline. Situated on a hill near Warkworth and only reachable by helicopter, the radar outage during severe weather poses challenges for accurate forecasting.
