Re: Any chance of rain for Whangarei ??????

Hi Louise and welcome to the site... I see you are there in Introductions - our formal thread for welcomes.

I will have a look - this current band of rough blustery and wet bit of weather should get to you folks this evening. I have been waiting for the 12:00 repoeats of the Synops maps and the IR Satellite pic. I will come back with what I find... our friends in Auckland were getting dry too - all the wind was drying the ground out and it was cracking up. Not been that for us in Sth Waikato... I wish we could share some of it with you...

Re: Any chance of rain for Whangarei ??????

Follow these two or three links:

NZ-Tasman Infrared Satellite Image (latest) - New Zealand:MetService.com - Weather

Rain Radar - last 6 hours - All New Zealand:MetService.com - Weather

Whangarei - New Zealand - yesterday today tomorrow forecasts tides sun rise set moon uv pollen:MetService.com - Weather

and this last one is most important...
Northland - New Zealand Rural / Farming:MetService.com - Weather

as it indicates about 3/4" of rain = 20mm starting at 4pm and peaking at 8pm.

Forecast:
Rain becoming heavier this afternoon with strong northwesterlies, gale in exposed places. Winds turning westerly and easing this evening with rain easing to showers.

I hope that helps... but it may be all you get for another week or so.

Well it seems you must have gotten some because KeriKeri got 27.5mm so that should be very welcome.

Re: Any chance of rain for Whangarei ??????

Hi everyone the rain started about 4.30ish yesterday but only drizzle really but come 6.30 we had a quick downpour and then steady light rain for about 4hrs, will climb the water tank today and see how well we did from last nights rain. Sun back out today, I know we love to see the sun but Iam hoping for more rain in the next few days.

Cheers Louise.
