What do you make of this?
There is a heavy rain warning until 8pm today for Marlborough, and flooding in the Wairau River has closed State Highway 63 shortly before noon on Tuesday.

Check the water quality of your favourite spot before you head out – we collect water samples every week from 21 sites across Marlborough. In summer the risk of catching a bug from swimming in clear water is usually low. However, after heavy rain, contamination can occur through runoff.
You can check the latest results for Marlborough’s favourite swimming spots here.
There’s also information here.
As a rule of thumb, don't swim if the water looks dirty or murky, smells or has scum on its surface.
Happy holidays!
