Yep GBI cops the easterly quarter in a similar manner to East Cape, but also gets plenty from the west quarter so best of both worlds if you like rain
Thanks for the stats, they've had a lot in the past week thats for sure, but some lovely weather too...especially when you wake up to views accross Little Barrier and the calls of Kaka chasing a dolphin pod in the bay.

I think there is a lot of orographic as well as convective enhancement of rainfall in the Waihi area. The town is about 10km inland which puts it into the higher rainfall belt that runs down the Coromandal to Kaimai ranges. Golden Cross (2638mm) is nearby.I admit that I don't know why rainfall around Waihi - even close to the coast there - is quite so high (2000+ mm)

Thanks for that, interesting. On the one really fine day in a rain-plagued visit a few years ago we drove the round trip of the peninsula. Sun was shining most of the time, but the soil would have been damp after heavy rain on the previous day. Each time the road turned closer the the central axis you could see some cloudiness around it, albeit harmless in nature.

I'm not allowed to complain about the surplus of thunderstorms that Auckland/Hamilton get as I was elected a moderator on this forum, so you can't complain about the SW rising to gale force, sorry
