Hi Team. light rain shwrs starting here in the Mamaku/Kaimai’s, overcast with only very slight northerly wind. Temp is 14deg, baro 1025.
Looking at the sat pic central Plateau BOP looks likely to escape any heavy precipitation for the time being which is good as the water table is very high here in Mamaku Village.
BTW, never felt the BOP earthquake at 5.14pm yesterday
Cheers
