We are having warnings about Tropical Cyclone Vaianu which is due to hit New Zealand on Saturday (tomorrow) with heavy rain and strong winds overnight into Sunday.
There are warnings for the whole of the North Island. This was at 4.46 p.m. yesterday (Thursday).

The rain and wind watches have now been upgraded to warnings (orange at this stage and I hope they stay that way). The soil is already sodden from all the other storms. I can't remember having this many warnings about a coming storm before and just hope they are being over cautious.
I just read another warning detail, keep cell phones and power banks fully charged. Water on standby if you use a pressure pump.Hope you and Doug stay safe.XXX
ReplyDeleteYou too. I am sure the warning covers you as well.
DeleteFingers crossed!!! I think the Meteo people are more likely to exaggerate these days; I hope that's the case.
ReplyDeleteSo do we but I have not seen one with warnings for the whole island before.
ReplyDeleteOur weather has changed all around our world, hope the warnings are just making everyone aware of the storm, stay safe.
ReplyDeleteWe are high up and should not be in danger. Climate Change is definitely having an effect worldwide.
DeleteI've been watching that weather system. It sounded dangerous. Glad to hear the warnings have changed. Hope you're both safe and dry
ReplyDeleteThe warnings have got worse. A precautionary State of Emergency has just been declared.
