Good afternoon everyone,
It’s a beautiful day across the region for us, but we are feeling for our neighbours to the north as Cyclone Vaianu makes itself known.
- The cyclone is now tracking further east than expected, which lessens the chance of impacts to our region. See the link below for more details: https://www.metservice.com/warnings/tropical-cyclone-activity
Continue to expect strong winds, heavy rain and swells from Sunday mid-morning/afternoon to Monday morning, especially along the east coast and eastern hills of the Wairarapa.
Rivers and streams in Kāpiti, Hutt and Wairarapa may also be affected by the heavy rain warning for the Tararua range.
- We are monitoring any impacts for Greater Wellington closely with councils and partner agencies and will be sharing posts if relevant. The pinned post at the top of our page will have the latest watches and warnings.
- At this stage, we aren’t expecting to see the severe impacts regions to the north of us will, but councils and WREMO have extra people on duty over the weekend just in case and we are working together to keep a close eye on things.
Things can change quickly, keep an eye on MetService for the most up-to-date information. https://www.metservice.com/warnings/home
Preparing for severe weather:
👉Secure any outdoor items like wheelie bins, trampolines, and outdoor furniture that could blow around.
👉With the kids on holiday, check they haven't left things lying around outside
👉Clear leaves out of gutters and away from drains - this will help reduce potential flooding if there's rain
👉Check on any family, friends, or neighbours who might need a hand securing items
Take care out there,
- WREMO Duty Team
