Another Cyclone Possibly Forming
January 10, 2023
MetService is monitoring whether New Zealand will be hit by another cyclone next week.
Weather forecasting models are predicting a storm to form in the tropics over the weekend and possibly move towards the North Island further east, or missing landfall altogether.
MetService’s Alwyn Bakker said there was an indication of something forming but it was too early to say anything with certainty.
”We are monitoring it and if necessary we will issue warnings but currently there are no existing tropical cyclones so we are not looking at it,” Bakker said.
