A swathe of the North Island's east coast remains under a heavy rain warning after a day of heavy downpours on Sunday in already rain-soaked regions. The most affected areas are Tairawhiti and southern Hawkes Bay, which bore the brunt of the rain. Rain watches had also been placed on western Bay of Plenty and Wairarapa overnight but were expected to be lifted on Monday. The Metservice is forecasting up to 200 millimeters of rain over the week. Metservice meteorologist Ngaire Wotherspoon spoke to Corin Dann.
