Strong winds have been forecast for much of Hawke’s Bay as the weekend approaches.
MetService has issued a strong wind watch for the region south of Hastings, including Tararua District, from Friday morning to Saturday morning.
West-to-northwest winds may approach severe gale winds in exposed places during that time.
“MetService
advises that the wild spring weather will continue as a strong, disturbed westerly flow spreads a series of fast-moving fronts over Aotearoa New Zealand,” a MetService release read.
“Strong westerly quarter winds... are expected to be widespread. Watches for strong winds are in place for areas of particular concern.”
