Environment Canterbury (ECan) updated their flood advisory at 7pm, Thursday 3 November.

• Rain has now eased in the high country and river flows have all peaked in their upper reaches. High flows will continue in alpine rivers overnight (Thursday) and tomorrow (Friday). As flows recede, flow paths can change that may create localised out of river issues. Landowners adjacent to rivers need to continue monitoring their own situation.
• Rangitata River - There are some discrete areas of breakout flooding from the Rangitata River that ECan continue to monitor.
