Westport is still in a state of emergency after severe flooding on July 17 and 18. A further 100mm is now expected by the coast. “They’ve seen the impacts of heavy rain recently – those areas that were saturated can see heavy rain again,” Corrigan said. The heavy rain may cause streams and rivers to rise rapidly. Surface flooding and slips are also possible, and driving conditions may be hazardous. The bad weather is also set to put a dampener to the end of the school holidays, and could add chaos to the Monday morning commute.
