Weather warnings have been lifted for Tairāwhiti while Northland says its recovery will take several weeks.

Cyclone Hale brought fierce tides to the Coromandel and saw three metres of bank at Mercury Bay scoured away. In Coromandel the historic Mercury Bay Boating Club in Whitianga may have been saved thanks to the efforts of the local community to protect the building from erosion. The region's rivers are still at high levels and continue to be monitored after Hikuwai River peaked at 13.5 metres last night.
