Stormy weather warning

MetService is warning of a stormy day for much of New Zealand tomorrow with heavy rain and galeforce winds.

It said torrential rain in the South Island could well cause flooding and traffic disruption while strong winds in Wellington, Wairarapa, Marlborough and Canterbury could bring down trees and powerlines.

MetService said people planning outdoor activities, particularly in mountainous regions, in both islands should consider alternative plans.
