Hi phill what’s causing Nelson’s showers next week even though we have high pressure?

Hi Jet, end of next high pressure moves east of NZ and just before the next big high moves in to the country there is a small area of rain/showers trapped in between over the South Island for a time.

Cheers Josh. Funny you say that, as this is the third time in a decade I’ve finished covering a severe weather event and then juuust as it ended and everything goes quiet, a tsunami alert is issued for the entire Pacific 🙂 No rest for the wicked!

95mm here in my location in takanini south auckland overnight and yesterday from the atmospheric river. models did a good job with this event. are we heading into a la nina?

Hi Josh, yes modelling was really good with this event, definiely a soaking for many regions in the north. There’s a little bit of chatter about La Nina later this year, but for now it looks NEUTRAL still until December.
