Heavy rain and road closures
The Coromandel Ranges are expected to get a dumping of 100mm to 140mm of rain as heavy rains sweep towards Northland.
What you need to know:
- State Highway 25A in the Coromandel has been closed until further notice, due to instability caused by heavy rain.
- The Tapu-Coroglen and 309 roads are also closed.
- A detour route is in place - State Highway 25 around the edge of the peninsula and State Highway 2 via Karangahake Gorge.
Motorists should expect longer travel times using the detour route, and advised to drive with caution at this time.

Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫
