All of Nelson’s community facilities – this includes swimming pools, community centres and venues will be closed from tomorrow until further notice. This means no public access to these buildings. Earlier today we announced that Nelson’s three public libraries will not be open today (Sunday 22 March) and will be closed until further notice.

Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese says she knows this news will be disappointing for many in the community that use these facilities on a daily basis but she is urging Nelsonians to pull together at this difficult time.

“Remember, right now being careful is being kind, but keep connected in your community and keep talking to each other. Also please keep up to date with information from official sources and avoid sharing rumours.”

🌞⛵⛈️ Fact! Weather in the mountains and out at sea can be very different than in urban areas.

MetService New Zealand meteorologist and Head of Weather Communications, Lisa Murray advises the public to check the weather forecasts as part of their planning for outdoors trips.

“If you're heading outdoors this weekend make sure you're planning carefully. New Zealand weather can change quickly, the impact of which should not be underestimated. That is why it is so important to be prepared by checking the latest mountain or marine forecast before you go.”

“It’s also important to check for any Severe Weather Warnings and Watches. These give valuable information about hazardous weather such as the intensity and timing of severe wind, heavy rain or if there is a possibility of thunderstorms.”
