Heavy rain has left some parts of Mosgiel, near Dunedin, flooded on Monday, causing disruptions for some locals.
Heavy rain has drenched parts of the South Island and even forced the closure of East Taieri School due to the risk of a nearby creek bursting its banks.
Authorities have been out around the city checking on the situation after a number of roads in the area were also closed thanks to surface flooding.
More rain is expected along the east coast of the South Island after a number of severe weather watches and warnings were put in place by MetService.
