The anticyclone to the right of New Zealand or east of the country looks set to really intensify, so the Atmos River should linger for a couple of the days producing a few more days of rain for those infected areas.

Interesting weather here now. Windy from the south and foggy. Never stuck this before, usually calm in foggy conditions?

I’ve opened the front door (in Auckland) because after cooking dinner it felt stuffy and hot. I see the church next door has their windows open too, for those doing prayer group. Am I dreaming? It’s August! What a warm year it’s been (or more like 10 months). Felt like winter never really arrived apart from maybe one frosty morning and a few chilly days.
