Motorists in some areas north of Wellington are being advised to delay travel, after heavy rainfall has caused flash flooding in a number of areas.
These include Haywards Hill Road, Western Hutt Road, Eastern Hutt Road, and parts of Stokes Valley and Mana.
Flash flooding can be unpredictable and dangerous, with unseen objects, debris and currents – motorists are asked to stay off the roads until the rainfall eases and water subsides.
Police are working with other agencies to keep people safe in affected areas.
