It's almost 4 a.m. and ex-Tropical Cyclone Vaianu is bringing us rain — and probably wind, but it's too dark to see out, and the sturdy house means we don't feel it.

Wind map shows cyclone eye a little offshore.
Screenshot of weather station shows it's warm outside and in, wind from the southeast and a rain rate of about 11 mm per hour.

There are other parts of the country where the effects will be felt much more strongly.
