		</div><p>A dangerous amount of rain is forecast on Tuesday for New Zealand’s most populous city four days after Auckland had its wettest day on record in a storm that claimed four lives.</p>
<p>A state of emergency was declared on Friday when a volume of rain that would typically fall over an entire Southern Hemisphere summer hit in a single day.</p>
<p>At least 5,000 homes and businesses were being assessed for flood and landslide damage and several roads remained closed after more than 15cm (6in) of rain fell in three hours.</p>

<p>The state of emergency for Auckland and surrounding districts was lifted on Monday morning but Auckland Mayor Wayne Brown warned that dangerous conditions were forecast to return on Tuesday.</p>
<p>“My team’s current focus and our big worry is that some Aucklanders might think the worse is behind us, but it isn’t,” Mr Brown told reporters.</p>
<p>He said up to 12cm (almost 5in) of rain was forecast in some areas that were already waterlogged.</p>
<p>“That’s nothing like Friday night, but the ground is so saturated and the drains are so full that if anything, it could be more dangerous than even Friday,” Mr Brown said.</p>
<p>He said the number of residents of Auckland and surrounding areas asking for help due to storm damage would continue to rise.</p>
<p>“It has taken some time for everyone to appreciate just how big and widespread an event this has been and it hasn’t finished yet,” he said.</p>
<p>“The downfall was by far the biggest in our history. It was well beyond even what our emergency people either imagined or planned for.”</p>
<p>The heavy rain warning for Tuesday covered Auckland and further north on the North Island.</p>
<p>“This rain is expected to cause dangerous river conditions and significant flooding. Slips and floodwaters are likely to disrupt travel, making some roads impassable and possibly isolating communities,” a MetService statement said.</p>
