Heads up Coromandel holiday makers

Published on 02 January 2023

Holidaymakers in tents are warned to be extra prepared for heavy rain and windy weather staring Wednesday and hanging around through to the weekend.

MetService are keeping an eye on a low pressure system north of New Zealand. It is expected to move slowly south over the next few days, bringing strengthening northeast winds and rain to the upper North Island. 

“Hatch a wet weather plan, especially if you are camping,” says our Civil Defence Controller Garry Towler. “Check your tents drainage, make sure they are tied down, and have a place to go if things get uncomfortable.”

Most importantly, check MetService for weather updates, follow our Council Facebook page for updates on Council roads and Waka Kotahi for State Highways.
