Cyclone Gabrielle was already affecting the northern part of New Zealand on Sunday.
Air New Zealand said it was canceling all domestic flights to and from Auckland through midday Tuesday as well as many international flights. The carrier said some international routes would continue operating, although flights might need to be diverted from Auckland. On Monday, it was expected to dump up to 250 millimeters of rain on Auckland.
Weather forecaster MetService said it was expecting a"widespread and significant” weather event, with heavy rain, strong winds and large waves. Earlier, the cyclone passed near remote Norfolk Island, a territory of Australia that is home to about 1,750 people. "We have been extremely fortunate with the passage of the cyclone as the most destructive winds have just missed us,” Plant wrote on Facebook."However, there is still considerable clean-up to be undertaken and it may take a while for services such as power to be restored.”
