NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi (NZTA) is advising caution on the roads around parts of Central and Southern Hawke’s Bay and Tararua tomorrow with a strong wind warning in place.
The warning is in force between 8am and 5pm tomorrow.
It covers Hawke’s Bay south of Hastings and the Tararua district.
The winds could bring gusts of up to 120 km/h in exposed places, with the potential to damage trees, powerlines and make driving hazardous.
Truck and van drivers, light vehicles, towing vehicles, and motorcyclists must take extra care in the strong winds and, importantly, drive to the conditions.
Road users are encouraged to check weather and road conditions before travelling.
A similar warning is also in place for Wairarapa drivers.
