0:20Now PlayingAucklanders are braced for more heavy rain just a day after New Zealand’s largest city was hit by a severe summer storm that left at least four people dead.
The city experienced its wettest 24 hours on record over Friday evening and Saturday, resulting in widespread flooding around the city of about 1.6 million people. Police confirmed Sunday that a fourth person had died after the body of a man swept away by floodwaters was found.
“Over the last 24 hours we’ve come to realize the true significance and impact of the flooding, not only in people’s homes but their livelihoods,” Deputy Prime Minister Carmel Sepuloni said at a press conference in Auckland Sunday. “What we saw on Friday was unprecedented and I acknowledge that there will be a lot of emotions and uncertainty that comes with being displaced.”
Another weather system, known as an atmospheric river, is forecast to bring more heavy rain to the upper North Island, research institute NIWA said in a tweet. The MetService has issued a severe weather warning for the area.
Atmospheric rivers are thin jets of air that move moisture beyond the tropics — a phenomenon that caused a series of deluges in California from late December to early January, killing at least 17 people and flooding cities and towns.
