Darkening northwest arch to west of Chch - 4pm radar shows light rain just reaching the city, but nothing here (does the radar pick up virga?)

Real rain has finally set in and it looks as if it may last.

It's clearing now, but fingers crossed. We need a lot more of it into the divide catchment. I used to feed the trout and salmon from the lunchroom at Tekapo-B but now the water's edge has receded well out into the lake.

Not too hopeful a prospect in the current regime, but maybe...
Lovely here at present with sunshine and high cloud to the north, but there are indicators of a later moisture invasion - banks of low cloud in the seas to the southeast and tendrils of the stuff creeping over parts of the Orongorongos.

The last two Christmas/New Year periods in the Mackenzie have been dismal (ie, lots of rain) so perhaps this year'll be three-in-a-row and the lakes could be replenished. Otherwise the country should brace itself for power restrictions. Besides farmers of course. Never any restrictions there. :roll:
