⚠️HEAVY RAIN WARNING - KĀPITI and WELLINGTON

The Team from Kāpiti Coast District Council

MetService New Zealand have issued a Heavy Rain Warning for Kāpiti and Wellington from 9pm Wednesday to 9pm Thursday. 100-130mm of rain is expected to accumulate with peak rates of 15-25mm/h.

Heavy rain may cause streams and rivers to rise rapidly. Surface flooding and slips are also possible and driving conditions may be hazardous.

If you are in a low-lying area now would be a good time to clear your stormwater drains, gutters and spouting of leaves and to check over your household emergency plans.

Stay safe out there and keep an eye on Metservice, Wellington Region Emergency Management Office and our website www.kapiticoast.govt.nz... for the latest weather updates.
