The death toll and clean-up effort in New Zealand continues to increase as “extreme” weather wreaks havoc in Auckland. 9News

Three people have died - two in Wairau Valley on's North Shore and one in Remuera - in separate incidents and as the flood emergency continues.

Exhausted travellers stuck at Auckland Airport face another night with nowhere to go, as the timeline for resuming international flights is repeatedly delayed. While the domestic airport had re-opened for travel on Saturday, international passenger departures will resume around 5am tomorrow and international arrivals from 7am .

These were Elton John concert goers who parked and walked only to return when the concert was cancelled to find their cars swamped and unable to start Louise Nicholls said in an email to Stuff on Saturday. The rain is set to continue for the whole of next week, but weather forecasters are predicting the heaviest falls will be further south.

Air NZ has diverted 12 international flights after Auckland Airport closed yesterday afternoon due to significant flooding, with thousands left stranded.
