Strong Wind Warning - Sunday 12 April

Metservice has issued a strong wind warning for our district and the majority of the North Island. The period is from 10am to 10pm on Sunday 12 April.

A heavy rain watch is also still in place. We are keeping a close eye on the weather forecast, and will update you about our decision on The Great NZ Muster later today 🐑🐑🐑

At this stage, the heavy weather is potentially not due to arrive until Sunday, well after our event. Safety and wellbeing is always at the top of our mind.

The Great NZ Muster and weather forecast

Many of you will be wondering if The Great NZ Muster will still be going ahead given there is potential for wet and windy weather this weekend.

Council’s Civil Defence team are keeping a close eye on Cyclone Vaianu, which is predicted to hit parts of the North Island on Sunday. Its exact track is still uncertain, and while there’s still uncertainty it is hard to make a call at this stage.

We will continue to monitor the weather forecast and will keep you updated as we know more. We will make a call closer to the weekend once we have an update from Metservice and Civil Defence.

We acknowledge and appreciate your understanding.
