A strong wind watch is in place for Northland until 4pm today and weather boffins are predicting swells of up to 6m along Northland’s east coast for much of the day.
A trough over Northland is bringing gale southerlies and MetService meteorologist April Clark said Northland should expect the showersto become heavy at times, especially in areas south of Kerikeri.
There’s also a possibility of hail in Northland today.
“The southwesterlies are expected to rise to gale today in exposed places, gusting at 90km/h, but they will start easing off tonight. The highest swells are expected in Kaipara and they could be as high as 6m for a time today, and that’s a significant swell” Clark said.
The trough is forecast to move east later today but clouds and a few showers will linger around on Tuesday and Wednesday. Northwesterlies are expected on Thursday.
