Many areas of the North Island have been battered by heavy rain today after the Northland region was hit overnight by northeast gales and torrential downpours, forcing the closure of some schools.
Locked-down Auckland was hit by heavy rain this morning, and heavy rain is also forecast for the Bay of Plenty west of Whakatane, the Coromandel, Hawke's Bay and Gisborne. Coromandel is also likely to endure thunderstorms early evening.
The downpours in Auckland this morning are likely to be followed by another burst overnight, according to the MetService.
