FORECAST: Northwest winds may approach severe gale in exposed places at times. Winds should ease from the south this afternoon and evening.
Wind gusts of this strength can cause some structural damage, including trees and powerlines, and may make driving hazardous. If any tornadoes do occur, they will only affect very localised areas.
Lightning strikes were reported around Wellington on Monday morning, and MetService has a Severe Thunderstorm watch in force for the region.

We just need him to be re housed for up to 1 year until my mum's house sells and I buy a new house. Happy to pay for his dog food. He's a beautiful dog mainly sleeps all day. Loves long walks. He just needs a fenced backyard to runaround during the day and to sleep inside at night. Sarah 0204727245
Thinking of hiring a local contractor to do some renovations on your house? A good rule of thumb is to obtain more than one quote, particularly if you are investing a large sum of money.
- Do you know the difference between a quote or an estimate?
- Will you need to hire multiple contractors?

Hey neighbours, are you thinking of borrowing money by taking out a loan?

Before you do - there's a few things you really need to know about. Take a minute and read the tips below to ensure you're asking the right questions and getting the best loan for you.
1. Shop around! Interest rates, fees and terms must be made available to you by the lender. Make sure you compare details and make an informed decision about what loan is best for you.
2. Choose a lender. Did you know that when you borrow money to buy something, you don’t have to borrow from the same person who is selling the goods?
3. Understand. Whoever is loaning you the money must ask questions to make sure you can afford the loan. They also need to help you understand the key terms of the loan.
4. Be prepared. You'll need to provide your lender with information to show that you can afford to repay the loan. This might include proof of income and expenses so make sure you have it ready.
Don't get on Auntie's bad side and do your research! You can find more information here.
