Our roads and water services contractors were monitoring the network throughout the night. There were no reports of any major incidents during the night. SH1 remains open. However, as expected the fords on Postmans Road are now impassable, and we may get more reports of surface water and slips on other roads later. We advise everyone to slow down on roads in case of unanticipated hazards. We will let you know on our Facebook and website latest news if there are further road closures.

At present the forecast remains the same for the Kaikōura District. We still have an Orange Heavy Rain warning and an Orange Strong Wind warning from midday today which is forecasted to be with us now until tomorrow mid-morning.
Rainfall rates are expected to rise later today and stay high overnight, but fortunately they are not forecasted to be very high for a sustained period. We are already seeing the arrival of high waves. This may cause travel issues later on SH1 North & South of Kaikōura at high tides.
Update Monday 13 Feb @3.30pm
