Rocketlab has tweeted that launch is now scheduled for NET 0443 on June 13 UTC. They decided not to try for June 12 as more strong winds are forecast. As I believe they were also forecast for the 11th I wonder why they attempted it then but I guess they have to keep the clients happy by trying and hoping that a break in the weather does occur! If it doesn't work out on the 13th the forecast for the launch area on 14 June is for showers with light winds.
