Strong wind warning for Auckland
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.
