This means open air fires are not permitted across the Whangārei and Kaipara districts and all fire permits have been suspended.
The ban on private use of fireworks also remains in place in the Karikari peninsula and Ahipara township.
The Far North remains in a restricted fire season but fire permits are still suspended in the area until further notice due to the weather conditions.
Go to www.checkitsalright.nz... for more information.
"It’s very important people follow the fire ban and don’t light any outside fires or let off fireworks," says Principal Rural Fire Officer Myles Taylor.
"It’s too risky. In the current hot and dry conditions a stray ember or firework could easily start a fire which would quickly spread."
"It’s still very dry in the Far North but we are expecting some rain to come through the area over the next few days," says Myles Taylor.
"We will continue to monitor the conditions and fire danger level. Fire permits will be reinstated when it’s safe to do so and when there is less risk of a fire getting out of control.
"We need the people of Northland, and those planning a holiday in Northland, to do their part to prevent a wildfire this summer."

We better not fly
We better not doubt
The scientists' cry
Climate change is coming to town
They have made a list
Checked it more than twice
And what's on that list
Is not really nice
Climate change is coming to town
It looks like we've been sleeping
And haven't been awake
It looks like we've been pretty bad
So let's change for goodness sake!
We better not bitch
We better not moan
We better not whinge
Or grumble or groan
Climate change is flooding the town
The Arctic is in meltdown
And Santa lost his base
He's now a climate refugee
And looking for a space
We better not put
Our heads in the sand
The matter has gotten
Well out of hand
Climate change is wearing us down
We love to drive our guzzlers
Don't care about EVs
And all our money paid for gas
Is going overseas
We better retreat
We better adapt
We better make sure
Emissions are capped
Climate change is bucketing down

State Highway 1 at the Mangamuka Gorge opens at midday on Friday to one-way traffic for the first time since Northland's one-in-500-year storm closed the road with a series of major slips five months ago.

But the road is only open until January 11, meaning traffic will have to use SH10 again after that. Do you think it is open for long enough or should it stay open until the busy summer holiday period is over?

He had six prior drink-driving convictions before her death on April 19. That day he spent seven hours drinking - including driving to the shops to replenish his stock - before getting behind the wheel again. Beattie-Rihari's brother said Sale could have just walked around Moerewa after he had been drinking. What are other ways of getting around Northland without drink-driving?

With Christmas fast approaching, we'd be keen to hear from those who spend the festive season (or part of it) away each year. Where do you go and why? What makes it such a great place to be at this time of year? What are you most looking forward to about the trip? Any words of advice you may have on things to do or places to eat or drink in the area would also be much appreciated. As usual, please put 'NFP' (not for publication) in your comment if you don't want it included in a travel article. Cheers.

Northland's real estate is booming, in part because Aucklanders are moving to the area or looking to get a foothold in the property market. How has this impacted you?
