New Zealand daily rainfall totals

Unread post by Bumblebee_7 »

Hi, can someone please tell me where the best place is to look at daily rainfall figures for New Zealand locations. Specifically I would like to know what Milford Sound gets on a daily basis. The MetService website only seems to have rainfall figures for the major centres unless I'm looking in the wrong place... Same goes for historical data

NIWA has a wealth of info at their CliFlo database (you'll need to register, but it's free).

There are 2 gauges near Milford Sound Aero; one is an Automatic Weather Station (AWS) operated by MetService, while the other is manually read by an authorised observer.
