Schools have already closed and transport services paused as much of the country tracks an advancing cut-off low and associated heavy rain through Tuesday.
Wellington faces a forecast of powerful swells and gusts. Authorities have declared a state of emergency in affected areas. Flights are disrupted, ferries are cancelled, and residents are urged to shelter and stay away from coastlines as the weather system approaches.
