Great. Just great. First the drought, now this. Typical Northland weather - if you don't like it, wait five minutes.

100%! Same road floods every year and council does nothing. Hope you stay dry mate

ffs we finally get a dry spell and now this. Guess I'll be spending my day off sandbagging the farm shed 😐

MetService love a good scare don't they. Watch it just be a bit of drizzle past Kaitaia again while Kerikeri gets hammered

A bit of drizzle? Check the maps - there's a tropical tap coming down. This one actually looks heavy for the east coast.

stuffed mate, the last three warnings were dead quiet where I am. Sick of the hype.

Anyone else's phone just scream at them with a RAPID number? Glad I'm WFH tomorrow, the old Corolla doesn't swim well lol

Better whip out the gumboots and raincoat then. Might actually get a bit of moisture on the vege garden for once.

Yeah nah, every bloody time these warnings come out it's a fizzer. MetService just covering their arse. Let's get to Wednesday.

boring

Eva Anderson2026-06-23T06:36:00.000Z

I'll take the 'fizzer' over another washout any day. But yeah my culvert is already clogged again lol

Aria Wilson2026-06-23T06:24:00.000Z

meanwhile fires in the south island... weather is absolutely cooked this year

Just went to check my gutters... yep they're full of leaves. If anyone needs me I'll be up on a ladder in the rain 🙃

luck with the gutters, did ours last weekend. Worth it to avoid the overflow!
