About this episode
It’s all rain and no shine this week across the country.
Warm, tropical air sitting north of New Zealand has brought with it thunderstorms and rain warnings for Northland, Auckland, Great Barrier Island and the Coromandel Peninsula.
Crews have already been working on clearing slips along State Highway 2, between Ōpōtiki and Gisborne.
So, what is the outlook for this week? And when will Mother Nature give us all a break?
Today on The Front Page, Niwa principal scientist, Chris Brandolino is with us to take us through what to expect, and when we might be able to put the sheets on the line.
