Here's what you need to know about the weather in the next two days:
- Metservice says Wellington's watch has a high chance of upgrading to a warning.
- Winds to blow 120kph in Wellington this afternoon
- From 6pm tonight Wellington is in for heavy rain until Thursday afternoon. This isn't going to stop, though, as more heavy rain is expected on Friday.
- Interislander has cancelled its sailings across the Cook Strait from tonight until Friday morning
- Niwa principal scientist Chris Brandolino said the biggest weather concern on Wednesday would be focused on the lower North Island, such as Wellington and Wairarapa.
“There will be some heavy rain and some strong wind...Wellingtonians are hardcore when it comes to wind but the wind gusts will be from the south and will be quite strong,” he said.
“Wind gusts could be upward of 120 to 130kph, so that has the chance to cause damage to power lines, trees and cause trouble driving especially for trucks and high sighted vehicles.”

A Tauranga man has filed a complaint with the Commerce Commission, claiming that due to dynamic pricing, it’s cheaper for him to fly to Los Angeles than to book a flight for his daughter from Tauranga to Wellington.
Do you think their pricing needs addressed to encourage more people to fly?
