Forecast path of the storm has shifted eastwards a little. Landfall now most likely in western Bay of Plenty. Sorry, can't find a better link for this map.
A bit more wind now, and gusty, but not extreme, and maybe changing diection to southerly/ south westerly? Drizzle changed to light rain. 979 hPa.
I prefer sunny days but Aotearoa is somehow more authentic in a little rain.
