Heavy Rain and Strong wind watch
A heavy rain watch and strong wind watch has been issued for our district and the North Island. Both are forecast for Sunday to Monday. We are monitoring the situation and will provide updates.
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.
