Severe thunderstorm watch in force for Wellington

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Almost 50mm of rain fell in the Wellington region last night, and the temperature on Monday is expected to get to just 12C, with heavy and possibly thundery showers, and gale northerlies easing.

FORECAST: Northwest winds may approach severe gale in exposed places at times. Winds should ease from the south this afternoon and evening.

Wind gusts of this strength can cause some structural damage, including trees and powerlines, and may make driving hazardous. If any tornadoes do occur, they will only affect very localised areas.

Lightning strikes were reported around Wellington on Monday morning, and MetService has a Severe Thunderstorm watch in force for the region.

People are advised to keep up to date with the latest forecasts and warnings here.
