Auckland, Northland and Coromandel are set to bear the brunt of the wet weather today with power company Vector poised to repair power outages caused by the wild weather.

Severe weather warnings are in place for the regions, where up to 150mm of rain is expected to set in, that could cause streams and rivers to rise rapidly, surfaces to flood and banks to slip.

Vector's head of field services Marko Simunac said crews were ready to respond to outages caused by the wet and windy conditions that were due to set in overnight last night and last until Tuesday.

"We are monitoring the weather and have crews ready to head out if they're needed. We know power outages are no fun, especially if it's cold and wet outside. People can be reassured we'll do everything we can to fix any power outages as quickly as possible."

Niwa warned the risks of slips and flooding in the Coromandel were growing, as holidaymakers who escaped to the getaway hotspot for the long weekend begin their commute home.

Rainfall modelling for the next 48 hours predicts totals in the region to reach 300mm.
