Re: Mid August West Coast/ Nelson/ North Island flooding risk
Yes a RED warning has been issued in your region now.asuth wrote: ↑Wed 17/08/2022 10:56 We are in Nelson and it has been raining heavily all morning. Our lawn is a lake and there is already surface flooding around the city. With another 300+mm or rain still to come over the next few days according to many models, I am baffled as to why Nelson/Tasman hasn’t been issued a red warning.

Re: Mid August West Coast/ Nelson/ North Island flooding risk
we are relatively sheltered from the NE wind here but I hear from locals who arent that it was bad
the models show it could strengthen again this afternoon
I see that the Waikato is warmer than Auckland area currently
so there must be a small Fohn effect downwind of the coromandel range (0.5c)

Re: Mid August West Coast/ Nelson/ North Island flooding risk
note that is for the entire rain period, i.,e 24 hours still to goReally don’t see 100mm+ occurring but let’s see
and the rain radar shows still plenty of more rain moving south
the temperature is increasing, so that means heavy rain potential
so I suspect this afternoon /tonight it will get really going
(actually heavier here now , and across the Auckland area too)

Re: Mid August West Coast/ Nelson/ North Island flooding risk
Just 12mm so far in my manual gauge. NE winds have been relentless here though. I think Tiritiri has been gusting to 100 km/h.
Aug Tmin records trumped again for the 24 hrs to 9am this morn at Auckland Aero, Mangere and Whangarei City....

Here's a comparison of the flooding on Avon Tce in Nelson with a Google Street view of the same place under normal conditions. Holy hell.

Re: Mid August West Coast/ Nelson/ North Island flooding risk
Aorere and Buckland Peaks gauges have tipped out over 600mm so far to lead the pack in Buller
600mm at Cropp and Tuke in Westland
Nelson/ Tasman 762 Anatoki, 540mm Takaka (Canaan)
Much more to come too it seems

Re: Mid August West Coast/ Nelson/ North Island flooding risk
I think Buller and Westland have 'dodged the bullet" with this event with Nelson city copping the most of it?

Re: Mid August West Coast/ Nelson/ North Island flooding risk
I see Ricky's Grey Lynn PWS also had a Tmin of 15.6C yesterday and 15.0C the day before, beating it's previous highest Aug Tmin over the last 20 years of 14.3C in 2010. Today might also be Auckland and Whangarei's 3rd consecutive day of record Aug Tmins.
Just 26mm here for this event so far. MS had gusts to 96 km/h at Whangaparaoa yesterday arvo.
I see Kerikeri Aero also recorded 161mm yesterday, on top of 45mm the day before.

Re: Mid August West Coast/ Nelson/ North Island flooding risk
90mm at Woodbourne for this event so far, 50mm from PWS around Blenheim so we were right on the edge of the rain bands.
GFS predicting another 60mm over weekend here and yet another rain event on Thursday
