Stay safe Aucklanders! Flooding, tornado warnings, and thunderstorms have hit the North Island. Read on for the latest on the weather chaos.

Auckland and the North Island are facing wild weather as severe thunderstorm watches and flooding warnings are issued by MetService. Coastal tornado risks, heavy rain, and severe weather advisories have kept firefighters busy with numerous weather-related callouts. Torrential downpours have caused flooding in Auckland and the Coromandel region, with reports of up to 100mm of rain falling overnight. The active front moving through the North Island has led to a chaotic mix of weather incidents, prompting authorities to advise caution. Residents are urged to stay updated on weather alerts and take necessary precautions.

Despite the challenges posed by the weather, firefighters and emergency services have been working tirelessly to respond to the flooding and weather damage. Areas like East Auckland and South Auckland have been particularly affected, with a significant number of callouts for assistance. The intensity of the weather events, such as the small coastal tornado in Bay of Plenty and the heavy rain warnings, highlights the unpredictable nature of New Zealand's weather. MetService's continuous monitoring and issuance of advisories are crucial in keeping the public informed and safe.

Amidst the chaos, communities in Auckland and the North Island have shown resilience and solidarity in the face of natural disasters. The combined efforts of emergency responders and local residents have been instrumental in managing the impacts of the severe weather. As the cleanup and recovery efforts continue, the importance of preparedness and community support in times of crisis becomes evident. The recent weather events serve as a reminder of the unpredictable and powerful forces of nature.
