Meanwhile, meteorologists are tracking Tropical Cyclone Ruby, a category 2 storm approaching New Caledonia.

It is predicted to deepen and move south-east past New Caledonia on Tuesday, and then gradually make its way south.

"Tropical Cyclone Ruby formed on Sunday afternoon and just over half a day later was already Category 2 and is still gaining power, plus we have numerous other low pressures all linking up – and it's going to produce a lot of rain, cloud, humidity and drizzle for parts of New Zealand," Weatherwatch.co.nz said.
