Auckland is still in clean up mode as it again deals with strong winds, rainfall and flooding in some areas. 

Red heavy rain warnings are already in force for Northland, and from later today for Auckland north of Orewa and Coromandel Peninsula.

There are orange heavy rain warnings for Auckland from Orewa southwards, Great Barrier Island, Bay of Plenty and northern Gisborne.
