Fresh cyclone warning for Cook Islands

The Cook Islands are again being threatened by a tropical cyclone.

Cyclone Sarah is set to bring gale force winds, thunder, and heavy rain, with a strong wind warning also in place.

However, Fiji's Met Service says it will not be as intense as Cyclone Pat, which hit Aitutaki two weeks ago.

Sarah is still only a Category One cyclone, and is unlikely to get much stronger than a Category Two storm.
