I can’t see any warnings at all for Southland on the Metservice site at this stage – where did you find that??

It’s actually quite confusing how MetService issue warnings sometimes. This is highlighted as Southland but you can see from their description where it covers:
SOUTHLAND – HEAVY RAIN WARNING WESTLAND AND FIORDLAND BETWEEN OTIRA AND MILFORD SOUND : Rain is forecast to become heavy this afternoon. In the 9 to 12 hours from 3pm today, expect 70 to 100mm of rain. The heaviest falls are likely this evening in Westland when intensities may reach 25mm/hr in thunderstorms. Issued: 9:00 am 10 Jun 2010 NZST

It’s kind of like including Hawkes Bay when there is a warning out for the western Bay Of Plenty, lol.
