A drenching overnight will see widespread disruption today for those in the Coromandel region.
Civil Defence is warning campers across the Coromandel Peninsula, that flooding, slips and road closures could leave them isolated.
Heavy rain warnings are in place for the region until late tonight, and roads near Whitianga and further north have already been shut.
Thames-Coromandel mayor Len Salt says more than 150 millimetres has fallen in the ranges, with slips and road closures expected to continue.
"We'd really like people to stay safe, find somewhere warm and dry, don't try and travel, and just keep themselves safe during the day."

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
