Let's start by looking around the motu at the latest on the weather front.
This week residents in Taranaki were hit with flash floods, slips, popped manholes and sewage flows after being pummelled by thunderstorms.
And further south the clean up is underway in the Nelson Tasman area after heavy rain, which has eased up now - although the area is still under a state of emergency.
Tasman mayor Tim King joins us now live from his home in Eves Valley.
