The tail end of Cyclone Debbie has been lashing the country since yesterday and is starting to make its presence felt in Christchurch.
Heavy rain is forecast to fall across the city and Banks Peninsula overnight, with the heaviest falls likely early tomorrow morning.
The MetService is also warning that southwest gales could batter Banks Peninsula tomorrow, with gusts of 140km/h possible in exposed places. Winds of that strength could cause damage to trees and powerlines and make driving hazardous.

Council contractors have been out clearing grates, checking pumps and making sure the drainage network is operating as it should. If you spot a blocked or overflowing public street drain you can report it to the Council’s Contact Centre.

See our 5 top tips for cutting down your autumn power bill:
1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.
2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.
3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.
4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.
5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.
