Rainfall & thunderstorms for Auckland
Thunderstorms are expected Tuesday afternoon and evening (9 May) due to an active front. Some of these thunderstorms may become severe, producing localised torrential rain in excess of 40 mm/h and a slight chance of a damaging tornado.
Here's what you need to know:
- Surface and/or flash flooding is possible, especially about streams, rivers or narrow valleys - this may also lead to slips.
- Driving conditions will be hazardous with surface flooding and poor visibility in heavy rain. If any tornadoes occur, they will only affect very localised areas.
- Thunderstorm activity is expected to ease in Auckland in the early evening of Tuesday.
For information on preparing for and keeping safe during a storm, see the Civil Defence Get Ready website.

Dry cleaners mt Roskill
Hello our fellow neighbors I was hoping someone would know where the old dry cleaners we had up at the lights on dominion road have moved to?? I was out of town and when I came back they were gone .... I had some items that I would really love to get back but if only I new where they moved to or how to get In Touch with the owners to see what they did with our clothes if they closed down or moved elsewhere? Any updates or news about it would be amazing neighbors. Have a great day
