Period: 7hrs from 2:00pm Monday 23 Dec 2024 to 9:00pm Monday 23 Dec 2024

Isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop about eastern parts of the South Island this afternoon and evening. For eastern parts of Marlborough and inland parts of Canterbury and Otago a few thunderstorms could be severe between 2pm and 9pm today, producing localised downpours of 25 to 40 mm/h.

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.

Driving conditions will also be hazardous with surface flooding and poor visibility in heavy rain.
