Heavy rain and high tides were causing problems in New Zealand South Island's largest city of Christchurch early Sunday.

Police southern communications spokesman Inspector Warren Kemp said motorists were being warned to take extreme care on roads both in the city and the surrounding areas, the New Zealand Press Association reported.

With heavy rain, countless roads and streets have surface water. High tides were causing rivers to back up.

Christchurch City Council closed the roads on the Beckenham Loop and it was hoped that houses would not be flooded.
