Severe weather warning: Weekend of gales and heavy rain
Heavy rain and strong winds up to severe gale strength are forecast this weekend - as schools go out for the holidays.
On Friday a warm northwest flow in a front was affecting Fiordland, particularly south of the glaciers. "Another front moves up onto the Fiordland area tonight and that basically moves northwards and with it, heavy rain basically slides northwards during Saturday." Heavy rain would mostly affect Westland and Buller significantly on Saturday.
People are advised to keep up to date with the latest forecasts as this event is expected to extend into Sunday and further areas are likely to be added. Please plan your travel and keep safe on the roads.

Poll: Would it be worth investing more money to open the museum in stages?
🎉 Exciting news for Southland! We’re getting a brand new museum – the Te Unua Museum of Southland!
⏳ The not-so-great news? It’s still a little way off. The Invercargill City Council has decided to wait until the museum is fully finished in late 2027 before opening, instead of opening parts early at extra cost.
We want to hear from you: Would it be worth investing more money to open the museum in stages, even if it costs more, or is waiting for the full experience the better option?
