Wellington’s wet weather is set to continue with the possibility of thunderstorms or hail on the horizon.
The Metservice website has forecast wet weather for Wellington until Friday morning, when the clouds will start to clear.
Metservice meteorologist Alwyn Bakker said Wellington had already seen “a bit of rain” with a band passing over the region on Wednesday morning during peak commute time.
In the meantime, the rain would be easing off, but there was a chance there would be thunderstorms or hail before the evening began.
“We’re going from broad and consistently wet to sporadically wet.”
Bakker said the region had experienced “some decent rain,” with the airport getting up to 5mm in one hour and Kelburn receiving 7mm.
“It’s going to remain damp is the broad forecast. There’s a risk of thunderstorms until the evening.”
While the clouds may clear up before the weekend, further rain is expected for Saturday and Sunday, continuing until early next week.
