New zealand faces powerful storm with strong winds, rain, snow, and high waves

A powerful storm hit many parts of New Zealand on Thursday, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, snow, and big waves. The South Island’s largest city, Christchurch, declared a state of emergency after flooding fears, while the capital city, Wellington, was hit by damaging winds.

In Wellington, this was the first time the city received the highest-level red wind warning. The winds were very strong — reaching up to 150 kph (93 mph) — and people were told to stay inside, avoid traveling, and stay away from windows and doors because of the risk from falling trees and flying debris.

Flights in and out of Wellington were canceled all day. Ferry services between the North and South Islands also stopped and won’t resume until at least Friday afternoon due to waves up to 5 meters (16 feet) high in the Cook Strait.

About 1,000 homes in the Wellington region lost power. Many schools closed early, the city’s largest university shut for the day, and the Royal New Zealand Ballet canceled its evening show.

Wellington is known as New Zealand’s windiest city, but this storm was stronger than usual. Local emergency officials said it was dangerous and could put lives at risk.

In Christchurch and nearby rural areas, heavy rain caused rivers to overflow, closing roads and raising concerns about flooding in homes. States of emergency were declared in several areas.

Warnings for heavy rain, snow, and large waves were issued across both the North and South Islands. Some areas on the South Island also saw heavy snowfall.

While New Zealand often experiences wild winter weather, this storm was unusual because it affected such a large part of the country. Authorities say the worst of the weather should pass by Friday.
