A complex low system covers the North Island and Tasman Sea, directing a moist easterly flow and rain across central New Zealand. This flow is expected to tend more southerly on Wednesday, easing the rain about central areas.

The heaviest falls are expected today (Tuesday) about eastern Marlborough south of Cape Campbell and about the eastern hills and south coast of Wellington, and a Heavy Rain Warning is still in force for these areas.

This Watch is for the possibility that the rainfall accumulations may approach warning amounts about Canterbury north of the Waimakariri river, especially about the hill country.

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

Heavy Rain Watch
Area: Canterbury north of the Waimakariri river, especially about the foothills
Valid: 21 hours from 9:00am Tuesday to 6:00am Wednesday
Forecast: Periods of rain, with heavier falls this evening and overnight. Rainfall accumulations may approach warning criteria.

Hi neighbours,

Christmas is supposed to be the jolliest time of year - full of whimsical family reunions, selfless gift-giving and Masterchef-worthy feasts.

But sometimes this just isn't captured on camera. We're after those amazingly awkward Christmas moments that have been captured on film.

Maybe it was the time you went to visit Santa and your little one didn't want a bar of it. Maybe it was a self-timed family shot that went horribly awry. Or a Christmas meal that was more a festive fail.

Whatever the not-so-merry moment, we want to see it! Share your pictures and a little bit about them with us in Stuff Nation. We look forward to seeing them! Here's the link to contribute.

They are super ready to be planted in a sunny wet spot to tower your garden. They are truly magnificent plants that grows super fast and gives huge flowers with lots of seeds. Good idea to plant a few around the chicken coop. And in autumn they will have sunflower seeds to feast on.
