The evacuations are continuing in Auckland after another night of heavy rain.

Auckland remains in a state of emergency, with an Orange Heavy Rain Warning and Heavy Thunderstorm Warning still in effect.

Fire crews have been been busy with about 30 rescues and call-outs overnight, and four homes in the west Auckland suburb of Titirangi have been evacuated due to further slips.

At least 30 homes have been red-stickered, and about 45 arterial routes and local roads are closed across the region.

Auckland Deputy Mayor Desley Simpson says that it's not getting any better.

Heavy rain is also battering Northland this morning.

Northland Civil Defence is urging people to remain alert for flooding.
