NZ storm update as we go into the Easter long weekend

Severe weather risks may increase today but are likely to become more isolated as we go through the long weekend.

We explain why rainfall forecasts will still change - and how much longer the gales will last.

There is NO VIDEO on Good Friday - but, we are back again on Saturday with a special Easter Weekend update due to the pockets of severe weather that may be lingering on..nz

So much more informative and grounded than the hyper hysteria from the mainstream media

Up here in Utakura the strong wind and rain is howling through. Our river has gone from a trickle to a flood and has flooded over onto the paddocks. We needed rain and boy have we got it. The water tanks are full so it could stop now 🤣 thanks for the update Phil. Have a nice Easter everyone.

Love it when you talk technical to me Phil. I feel like i've just become a meteorologist in the past 12 minutes...

Very strong gusts of wind and horizontal rain here in Mangawhai. Most unpleasant, sleepless couple of days. The good news.... our tanks are full. Thanks Phil for keeping us updated.

sad day in NZ when we have to goto youtube because our news have reporters reporting on the weather rather than a person who has studied meteorology

[lesleywallace]
