MetService issued a heavy rain watch for the Wellington region, stretching north to the Tararuas, until 9am Tuesday morning. It has issued a strong wind watch as gale southerlies are expected to develop on Monday afternoon, and wind gusts may approach 120 kilometres an hour in exposed parts.
A slip was blocking the left lane on State Highway 58, near the State Highway 2 interchange into Silverstream. A second slip was reported on Ohiro Road, with rocks and dirt falling on top of the hood of a parked Subaru.
The New Zealand Transport Agency advised drivers to pass with care and expect some delays.
FERRIES: Bluebridge cancelled its 2pm sailing from Picton and 1.30pm from Wellington due to the weather.

Ladies and gentleman, please USE YOUR INDICATORS!
As a bike-riding non-driver i am not physic. I cannot tell which way you are intending to turn.
This seems to happen a lot on the exits of supermarkets, particularly pak n save and countdown.
Just because you do not see a CAR behind you, does not mean you don't have to indicate.
Also, the amount of mobile-phone using drivers is very saddening.
Come on, people, is that call worth your ( or my ) life?
Thank you and God bless.
