Here's what you need to know:
- A period of severe gale southwesterlies is expected in Auckland and MetService have issued a severe thunderstorm watch and an orange strong wind warning.
- Air NZ is contacting customers booked to fly in and out of Auckland this afternoon, warning of potential flight disruptions due to strong winds forecast to hit the city.
- NZTA warn of strong winds between 10am-12pm today so the Harbour Bridge will have lane reductions, reduced speeds and a 4x4 lane layout. Caution is especially needed for motorcyclists and trucks. NZTA said "Today there is also a possibility that all lanes on the bridge could close temporarily."
- Strong wind gusts could damage trees, powerlines and unsecured structures. Driving may be hazardous, especially for high-sided vehicles and motorcycles.
Be safe, neighbours!

This is a steal and a must go price. Only selling as I am moving offices. So this couch needs to be gone before this Saturday (1/6/24).
Couch is in excellent condition with no stains, marks or rips. Very solid and sturdy, so will probably require two people to move.
