Aucklanders have been warned of possible power cuts as strong winds are due to hit the city on Friday night.

MetService has issued a high wind warning for Auckland, expecting gusts of up to 110 km/h, while lines company Vector said there was a higher-than-usual likelihood of power cuts as a result.

Chief networks officer Andre Botha said strong wind gusts had the potential to damage power lines either directly, or indirectly by causing vegetation and debris to blow into lines.

"Vector is preparing response teams to respond as quickly as possible to any power outages caused by the high winds," Botha said.

Keep up to date wit the latest here.

Vector warns people to stay away from damaged electrical equipment and report issues by phoning us 0508 VECTOR.

Hi Neighbours.
I love to dive, it is good for my mind and soul, there is nothing like the peace and the beauty of being underwater. While I like to gather scallops and muscles I am not an enthusiastic hunter, I like to take my time and enjoy the scenery and sea life. On top of my favourite list is the octopus. These intelligent creatures are truly captivating and I have been very lucky to see a few while diving locally. They can be quite curious and interactive but like any wild creature this can have to potential to turn dangerous so always remember to look and not touch.
Scallop season is going well with good reports about numbers and the quality of these tasty morsels.
If you are on, in or under the water have fun and remember to be safe.
