Auckland remained under a state of emergency after it experienced its wettest ever day on Friday, sparking floods which killed three people
New Zealand’s deadly flood emergency continued on Sunday after heavy rainfall hit the country’s north island, causing landslides, flash floods and knocking out roads.
The nation’s weather forecaster, MetService, warned of more severe weather on Sunday and Monday for the north island, including in Auckland where severe thunderstorms were possible. Intense rainfall could also cause surface and flash flooding, added MetService. In nearby Bay of Plenty, there was also “widespread flooding,” police said, as well as a landslide that had knocked down a house and was threatening neighbouring properties.
Air New Zealand said the airline’s international flights in and out of Auckland would resume from noon on Sunday .
