The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Heavy rain is forecast for the Bay of Plenty area today (20th Aug). A severe weather watch remains in place for the region after it was issued by the MetService last night. A complex low pressure system and associated fronts and troughs was expected to move east onto New Zealand from the Tasman Sea on Sunday, then across the country during Monday and Tuesday, followed by westerlies overnight Tuesday.”

The watch is for the possibility that rainfall accumulations could meet warning criteria in the eastern ranges of Bay of Plenty during Monday and early Tuesday.

People are advised to keep up to date with the latest forecasts in case parts of the Watch are upgraded to a full Warning, or other areas are added.

Area: The ranges of Bay of Plenty east of Opotiki
Valid: 12 hours from 11am to 11pm Monday
Forecast: Periods of heavy rain, and thunderstorms possible. Rainfall accumulations may approach warning amounts during this time.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
