Wellington Region Emergency Management Office is urging residents in the Greater Wellington region to work from home today if they can, due to heavy rain in the region.
It is asking people to avoid all travel if possible.
A northbound lane on State Highway 2 through the Hutt Valley has had to be closed due to flooding.
Trains on the Kapiti Line have been replaced by buses between Plimmerton and Waikanae due to a slip - rocks fell and hit a train between Paekakariki and Pukerua Bay.
There are reports of flooding in Hutt City, Featherston, Silverstream, Trentham, Porirua, Waiwhetu, Whitby, Stokes Valley and Naenae.
For an update on the situation, WREMO's Regional Manager Jeremy Holmes speaks to Kathryn.
