Rain easing in Rotorua
The rain is slowly easing in Rotorua this morning as residents begin cleaning up after some of the worst flooding seen in decades.
30 April 2018
A state of emergency remains in place in Ngongotaha where floodwaters ripped through homes, forcing hundreds of people to evacuate.
Ngongotaha Primary School is closed, and all classes at Te Wananga o Aotearoa Rotorua's Waiwhero site have been cancelled.
Parents and students are advised to contact their school/kura for more information.
And many parts of the country were drenched over the weekend.
The Ministry of Education warns some schools in South Canterbury are also likely to be closed today due to flooding.
