Marshall said today was looking to be \u201cquite humid\u201d, with warmer minimum temperatures.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor example, in Whakat\u0101ne, their minimum temperatures will be 13C, which is quite different as they\u2019ve been getting frost recently; you need to have around three degrees air temperature to even start seeing frost.\u201d <\/p>\n
Showers with some heavy falls are forecast for Bay of Plenty on tomorrow and Friday before fine weather returns for the weekend. <\/p>\n
Wet roads warning for Bay of Plenty drivers<\/p>\n
Drivers are being asked to slow down and drive to the conditions as heavy rain impacts parts of the North Island, including the Bay of Plenty west of Kawerau and the Coromandel Peninsula.<\/p>\n
The warning comes as wet weather increases the risk of hazards such as localised flooding, slips, rockfalls and slippery roads.<\/p>\n
The New Zealand Transport Agency Waka Kotahi is urging motorists to allow extra time for journeys and adjust their driving behaviour accordingly, including increasing following distances, reducing speed and avoiding sudden braking.<\/p>\n
Drivers are also advised to use headlights when visibility is poor.<\/p>\n
NZTA said contractors are monitoring the transport network and are ready to respond to any issues caused by the weather.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Marshall said today was looking to be \u201cquite humid\u201d, with warmer minimum temperatures. \u201cFor example, in Whakat\u0101ne, their…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":493376,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[41242,1561,1558,2082,5760,19134,6559,1452,4881,20591,32033,111,43,139,69,1118,49042,1562,6560,1455,3807],"class_list":["post-493375","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-zealand","tag-alert","tag-bay","tag-been","tag-for","tag-force","tag-forward","tag-heavy","tag-issues","tag-kawerau","tag-metservice","tag-moved","tag-new-zealand","tag-news","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-of","tag-orange","tag-plenty","tag-rain","tag-warning","tag-west"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493375","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=493375"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/493375\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/493376"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=493375"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=493375"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=493375"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
