Torrential rain warnings for West Coast and the Alps

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

More than half a metre of rain is likely to fall on parts of the West Coast and in the Southern Alps from early Monday until Wednesday.

While only a fraction of that amount of rain is expected to make it across the main divide to the Canterbury Plains, people in eastern parts of the South Island are being advised to prepare for northwesterly winds up to severe-gale force in exposed places.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
