Banks Peninsula's State of Emergency remains in effect, with warning of more severe weather on its way for much of the country. 

The emergency was declared a week ago during record rain and flooding. 

Orange warnings have now been issued for more heavy rain for several parts of both islands, heading from south to north over the next two days. 

Christchurch Mayor Phil Mauger told Canterbury Mornings the State of Emergency will be reviewed again at 4pm. 

He says they worry rain tomorrow may impact existing slips and could make things a bit messy.
