A slow moving area of low pressure affects the North Island today. A warm moist air-mass and low level convergence are likely to generate showers and possible downpours.

This afternoon and evening there is a moderate risk of Severe thunderstorms for Rotorua, inland Bay of Plenty, the southwest corner of Gisborne, Taupo, inland Hawkes Bay and Taihape. These storms may be accompanied by localised downpours with rainfall rates of 25 to 40 mm/h and hail.

Rainfall of this intensity can cause surface and/or flash flooding, especially about low-lying areas such as streams, rivers or narrow valleys, and may also lead to slips.
