New Zealand Braces for Heavy Rain, Thunderstorms, and Hail This Week
New Zealand is gearing up for another spell of harsh weather, with a new front anticipated to sweep up the South Island and into the lower North Island on Monday. This follows a week of temperatures climbing into the 20Cs nationwide.
Weather watches and warnings are likely in northern Fiordland and Westland ranges on Monday, as the front approaches. Although the identity of the slow-moving front expected to cause heavy rain, thunder, and small hail the next day is not yet disclosed, residents are advised to stay informed.
Auckland and Northland are already preparing for potential thunderstorms on Friday afternoon. Auckland has a moderate risk, with heavy rain and small hail possible. Northland faces a high chance of thunderstorms, along with localized downpours and hail.
A slow-moving front in the north is set to bring heavy rain and thunderstorms on Friday afternoon and evening. As the weather pattern shifts, New Zealanders are advised to monitor forecasts and stay safe.
