The strong wind is causing disruption to flights in and out of the capital, Wellington Airport has reported on social media, urging people to check live flight information online. Ferris said Wellington’s wind would have the power to wash waves over coastal roads, particularly at high tide around 1pm. The southerly winds would be lighter on Wednesday, he said.
