Kia Haumaru te noho e te whānau

PLEASE NOTE - THESE HAVE BEEN UPGRADED TO A WARNING

Look like Mother Nature is forcing us to have a quiet Sunday indoors! 💨🌧️

MetService have issued a strong wind warning and heavy rain warning for Sunday.

💨 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘂𝗮 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁
⏰ 8 hours from 7:00am Sun 27 Sep to 3:00pm Sun 27 Sep
‼️ Severe gale west to northwest winds gusting 120 km/h in exposed places.
Winds easing from the south Sunday afternoon.
Minimal chance of upgrading to a Red Warning.

🌧️ 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝘃𝘆 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗿𝘂𝗮 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲
⏰ 10 hours from 4:00am Sun 27 Sep to 2:00pm Sun 27 Sep
‼️ Expect 60 to 90 mm of rain. Peak rates of 15 to 20 mm/h expected Sunday morning.
Minimal chance of upgrading to a Red Warning.

𝗔 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵:

☔️ Streams and rivers may rise rapidly, with surface flooding, slips and difficult driving conditions possible. Avoid low-lying areas and take extra care on the roads.
💨 Secure loose outdoor items - your pot plants, bins and anything else that could suddenly take off flying.
🚗 Drive carefully, particularly if you’re in a high-sided vehicle. Strong winds and large vehicles don't exactly get along.
🧹 Clear your drains and gutters to help keep the rain moving where it’s supposed to.

We’ll keep an eye on the forecast and let you know if anything changes.

Until then, may your bins stay upright, your gutters stay clear and your trampoline remain firmly on your property.
