Heavy rain could plague Hawke’s Bay and Gisborne on Tuesday.
MetService meteorologist Mmathapelo Makgabutlane said it was too early to say if thunderstorms would hit the region, but wet and windy weather was possible along the North Island’s east coast from about Tuesday.
“We have a low-pressure system drifting down from the north and that will be bringing, at this point so far, the heaviest rain for the northern parts of the country,” Makgabutlane said.
Although it was too early for MetService to issue weather warnings and watches for this system, Makgabutlane said her team was watching the situation and would typically issue any watches or warnings a couple of days ahead of the system hitting, if it does come through.
