Severe weather impacts across the city
Kia ora everyone,
We have a number of severe weather impacts across the city. Wellington Region Emergency Management have provided an update:
- Stay indoors where possible and avoid unnecessary travel.
- If you need to travel this afternoon/evening, plan ahead as strong winds can make driving hazardous.
- Take special care on coastal roads as there may be debris.
- Severe wind gusts like these can damage trees, powerlines and unsecured structures and can cause threat to life from flying items and falling trees.
- Destructive winds can cause widespread damage including powerlines and roofs, with dangerous driving conditions and significant disruption to transport and power supply.
- Be ready for possible power and communication outages
- Secure any outdoor items if safe to do so, like wheelie bins, trampolines and outdoor furniture that may blow around.
- If can back up any data and keep your laptops and phones charged in case of power.
- Any travel that is necessary please allow for delays and plan accordingly.
For Hutt specific information, we are keeping the Hutt City Council Facebook page and website regularly updated.
Got more greens than you know what to do with? 🥦🌱🥕
Whether it’s a courgette takeover or a feijoa frenzy, don’t let those garden gems go to waste!
Our suggestion to you: Did you know you can grate and freeze excess courgettes to use in chocolate cake later? It sounds a bit dodgy, but it makes the cake incredibly moist ... and hey, it counts as a serving of veg, right? 🍫

Pressure washing
I had these wonderful young boys come over on Wednesday and pressure wash my concrete and it looks fabulous! They are a young group of boys starting out but they worked like professionals and were well mannered.
