Thunderstorms expected today
Metservice have issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for the areas of Nelson, Buller, Westland, Canterbury High Country and Fiordland for today, Wednesday 1 June.
Due to an airmass with rapidly moving thunderstorms, the watch is in place until 3pm These thunderstorms are expected to bring damaging wind gusts of more than 110 km/h and localised tornadoes.
Strong wind gusts of this magnitude could cause some structural damage to trees and power lines. If any tornadoes occur, they will only affect very localised areas.
Motorists are asked to drive with extreme caution during this time.
