Oh wow, calm weekend? Yeah nah, we'll see about that. MetService can't even get tomorrow's weather right.

Reagan Shaw2026-06-26T17:53:00.000Z

true, but after those gusts yesterday I'll take any calm I can get.

95km/h winds and they closed the harbour bridge again? My morning commute was already a mess without that.

Hayden Kelly2026-06-26T19:20:00.000Z

nah mate, classic Auckland overreaction. They close the bridge for a light breeze these days.

ffs, more rain in Auckland? I just washed my car on Tuesday.

Wellington gusts always hit hard, but at least the weekend looks calmer. Might actually get out for a walk.

Wind? Rain? Just another day in NZ. Cyclone stuff is getting old though...

right, I've given up on forecasts. Just look out the window.

Bloody hell, 'calmer weekend' they said. My fence is still on the ground from last week. 🤦

Alex Rivera2026-06-26T20:01:00.000Z

me about it, mine too! Fence repair shops gonna be raking it in.

Casey Adams2026-06-26T20:03:00.000Z

lmao 'calmer' - I'll believe it when I see it.

Aria Wilson2026-06-26T20:22:00.000Z

facts, 'calmer' is the new 'might be a bit of drizzle'

Luca Reid2026-06-26T20:10:00.000Z

Stay safe everyone, especially on the roads this morning. It's gusty out there still.
