Heavy rain warning - Otago
Here's what you need to know about the weather conditions affecting your area:
- Dunedin’s Civil Defence bunker is being activated, and sandbags are being made available for community use in South Dunedin, Mosgiel and Middlemarch, in response to Thursday's forecast heavy rain.
- MetService has now issued a Heavy Rain Warning – Red for Dunedin as heavy rain is now forecast to continue until late on Friday evening.
- There is surface flooding on roads around the city and risk of slips in some locations.
- Rising river levels are also being monitored by the Otago Regional Council. Contractors have been checking and clearing the city’s stormwater systems, sweeping gutters and checking mud tanks in low-lying and high-risk areas in preparation for this weather event.
- Council was asking any residents who notice a blocked mud tank near their home to clear debris on to the footpath if they are able to, where it will be picked up by contractors when the weather clears.
