A major storm system is barreling up the country, bringing torrential rain and fierce winds to the North Island—especially Wellington, Wairarapa, and the Tararua Range—with heavy downpours hitting overnight and into early morning. Firefighters are already responding to flooded roads and wind-flipped cabins. Wind warnings cover Nelson, and snowfall alerts are active on mountain passes. If you’re commuting or heading out, stay alert: delays, road closures, and dangerous conditions are likely. Check local forecasts and prepare for disruption.
