Severe weather watch for Hawkes Bay

An area of low pressure to the east of New Zealand directs a moist southerly flow over the North Island during Tuesday and Wednesday. An associated front is expected to lie slow-moving about Hawkes Bay during this time, enhancing the rainfall in that region.

People are advised to keep up to date with forecasts in case this Watch is upgraded to a full Warning, or additional areas are placed on Watch.

Valid: 30 hours from 5:00pm Tuesday to 11:00pm Wednesday
Forecast: Periods of heavy rain. Rainfall amounts may approach warning criteria, especially about the hills and ranges.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
