Better batten down the hatches! There a risk of wild winds on Friday 10 June, both around dawn and in the evening. Make sure loose items are secure and take care if you’re out and about.

 Looks like two rounds of very gusty winds are on their way tomorrow! There’s a risk of northwest wind gusts of more than 80km/h around dawn especially in the higher parts of the Port Hills and Banks Peninsula. On Friday evening, there is also a risk of northwest wind gusts of more than 100km/h. These will ease overnight. Make sure your trampoline and any other loose items are secured and take care out there!
