The Chinese Embassy in New Zealand reminds overseas Chinese, students, and tourists in the consular district to closely monitor severe weather alerts and strengthen safety precautions.

According to the forecasts of the China Meteorological Administration and the New Zealand Meteorological Service, Tropical Cyclone Vayena, a Category 3 cyclone, is expected to make landfall along the northern coast of New Zealand on the night of the 11th to the early morning of the 12th, local time. It is predicted to bring strong winds and heavy rainfall resulting in adverse weather conditions, which may lead to power outages, transportation disruptions, and pose risks to personal and property safety. The Chinese Embassy in New Zealand reminds Chinese citizens in the region to closely monitor weather and civil defense department alerts, emergency evacuations, sheltering, road closures, etc., and to make necessary preparations in advance, reduce unnecessary outings, store necessary food and water, ensure communication devices are fully charged, and effectively strengthen personal safety precautions.
