Cyclone Gabrielle expected to bring significant severe weather to northern and central New Zealand from Sunday onwards
Cyclone Gabrielle is expected to move southeastwards out of the tropics and lie north of the country by Sunday. East to southeast winds will strengthen significantly over northern parts of the North Island during the weekend, and there is high confidence of severe gales for Northland, Auckland and Coromandel Peninsula from Sunday through Tuesday.
Also from Sunday through Tuesday, there is high confidence of significant heavy rainfall over Northland, Auckland, Coromandel Peninsula, and Gisborne.
This high confidence extends to Bay of Plenty, Gisborne and easternmost Waikato on Monday and Tuesday, when there is also low confidence for Taranaki, Waitomo, Taumarunui, and the remainder of Waikato.
On Tuesday, southeast gales are forecast to extend to central New Zealand, and there is high confidence that they could become severe, as indicated on the chart.
Finally, heavy rain is also likely on Tuesday about central areas from Marlborough to eastern Wellington and Wairarapa, and there is moderate risk that accumulations could meet warning criteria.
Very large waves and a storm surge are expected to affect northern and eastern coastlines from Northland to Gisborne from Sunday into Monday, spreading south to Marlborough on Tuesday.

💧 wait 2–3 days after rain before swimming, and avoid river mouths and stormwater outlets on our beaches
💧 keep an eye out for toxic algae during summer, dogs are particularly at risk while scavenging at the river’s edge.
And make sure you do summer right by checking if your favourite swimming spots are safe for swimming 👉🏼 www.lawa.org.nz...
