Situation
Cyclone Cody, currently over waters to the northeast of New Zealand, is expected to move southwards and pass far east of East Cape during Monday, before moving southwards towards the Chatham Islands on Tuesday. The risk of heavy rain has diminished as the system tracks well east of New Zealand. However, the risk of severe gales about exposed parts of eastern Bay of Plenty and Gisborne remain. In addition, hazardous conditions are expected about exposed eastern coastlines of the North Island, where large easterly swells, significant sea surges/rips and coastal inundation are possible. People are advised to stay up to date with the latest forecasts.
