(File photo)After a short spell of settled summer weather, people in the Lower North Island are being warned to “hold on to their hats”. Metservice meteorologist Peter Little said gales were going to peak between late Tuesday morning and early evening in Wellington. “For much of the capital, and also for Wairarapa, we’ve been treated last week with windless and hot days. High-sided vehicles, motorcycles and campervans travelling over the Remutaka Hill Road needed to be very careful during high winds, Little said. Wellington Regional Emergency Management Office has issued a strong wind warning.
