Daily rainfall data

Unread post by kenwatkins »

Hi,

I'm trying to compile some stats on rainfall on the south island of NZ. I'm searching for daily rainfall totals for the South Island over the past few years (or decades if possible), preferably in a gridded format.

This is a good example (can download the gridded data at the bottom of the page):

I know these maps exist, however I'm not sure if it's possible to access the data itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
