Heavy rain has lashed Auckland and Northland this morning- with ferries cancelled and early reports of power cuts.
It follows a night of heavy rain that pushed in from Northland - that region has seen more than 100mm of rain in some areas overnight with more coming in this morning.
All Gulf Harbour ferries have been cancelled, with replacement buses running and power cuts have been reported around Auckland.
The top of the South Island and the West Coast also had heavy rainfall overnight. RNZ Auckland reporter Victor Waters is with us now.
