Many Aucklanders are feeling a great sense of anxiety this morning with more severe weather predicted to hit the region on Tuesday and Wednesday.
An Emergency Management text alert was sent out last night in Auckland warning of further heavy rainfall.
The alert, sent just before eight o'clock, said MetService has placed Auckland under an orange rain warning.
An active line of thunderstorms was forecast, bringing the risk of very high intensity, localised downpours overnight.
Metservice forecaster Jessie Owen earlier told Morning Report that Auckland experienced more persistent rain overnight
Four people have died and hundreds have been displaced after the record-breaking rains that flooded Auckland on Friday night and Saturday morning.
The cleanup is only just beginning for some, and could be hampered if predicted heavy rain arrives in the next few days.
The government has announced it is offering financial support to those in need, with thousands of people already taking up the support that's on offer.
Prime Minister Chris Hipkins was in Auckland on Saturday to assess the damage.
He spoke to Kim Hill.
Morning Report asked Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown for an interview this morning to get the latest on the council's response, and any advice for residents.
We were told Brown isn't doing any interviews or press conferences today, as he's in back-to-back briefings.
