Christchurch is in for another wet day with more rain and gale force winds predicted as the tail end of Cyclone Debbie continues to hit.
Persistent heavy rain and strong winds are expected in the city for most of the day with winds tipped to reach 90km/h on Banks Peninsula, but it is expected to ease in the evening.
The rain is causing havoc around Kaikoura with a number of roads closed by the NZ Transport Agency due to rock fall, mud-slides and floods.
