Officials said the decrease of three or more days was enough to trigger a phase assessment according to the national fuel plan, but "MBIE's advice to ministers is that an assessment is not required, as these changes do not raise any immediate concerns".
Speaking at Parliament, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said the country would stay at phase 1. "But the ceasefire is fragile and the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, so the risks to New Zealand's fuel security is still elevated," he said.

"When I left Auckland, there was one red warning by the MetService, and that was for the Coromandel.
"But I did check a lot of the really reputable weather models, and I noticed that there was a much severer potential for wind and gusts down in the Bay of Plenty region. So I made a decision to head down in that area."
By the time he reached Whakatāne, MetService had issue a red warning for the area, where Davison captured the strong winds and heavy rain on his camera.
