⚠️HEAVY RAIN WARNING
MetService New Zealand has issued a Heavy Rain Warning for Tararua, Kāpiti and Wairarapa from 4pm Friday–12pm Saturday. Kāpiti can expect 70 to 100mm of rain, with peak rates of 20mm per hour.
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.

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
