    The rain capital of New Zealand is bracing itself for another spring deluge


    The West Cost is expected to receive around 100 to 130 millimetres of rain near the ranges, and 70 to 90 millimetres near the coast

    Westland District mayor Bruce Smith says his region is always prepared for the worst and Civil Defence will be ready to go if required.
