Severe Easterly storm & Flooding, upper NI, 9 - 13th Jul
Gee whizz, the hint of drizzly sleety snow for 5 mins in ChCh and this forum goes mad.
A major weather warning of 200mm plus of rain and 130km winds in the north has yet to register a thread here.
Time to fix that, I hope those northern folk have tidied the garden rubbish, cleared the drains, tied up the boats and battened down the hatches. Thye've had their fair share of drama already this year.

Already mentioned several times in this thread about an easterly thrashing for Coramandel to Northland
http://www.weatherforum.org.nz/forum/vi ... 5577#45577
So we do understand and are discussing the upcoming effects already...
We'll keep with this thread then too ...
Manukau heads observer wrote: in the past in these egg beater situation, the easterlies have reached 80kts (150kmh or so) in a line from the top of the coromandel penininsular to the kaipara harbour area
if the squash zone can move further south then towns downslope of the coromandel/mt tearoha kamai range are in for a battering (been a long time since they had a big easterly)......and even this far west we can get a bounce effect off the hunua ranges
Both in this thread here...Foggy wrote: Seems as though the blocking high is starting to get established to the SW of NZ, thus shifting cyclonegenesis (love that word!) westwards toward Northland more, rather than the NSW coast in June.
Will only probably see occasional drizzle from this system here.. with more falling as you head north. I wonder how high these easterlies are going to get though?!

Oooh! That's a bit mean....
Not that we would wish an ugly storm on the SI - Although some seem to want it
Just batten down the hatches up north and keep plenty of fresh water stored... and batteries and dry wood, and matches... - oh, and tie down the caravans (I think ours is the same vintage, size and make as the one in the Taranaki news recently
Still calm here in Sth Waikato.

That's what I was remembering of Gisborne across to central NI when we lost a whole area of trees in several places. Broken useless sticks left standing and the other half just as useless in a tangle on the ground... Kinleith Forest...
