SEVERE FLOODING IN CHRISTCHURCH IS ONLY GOING TO GET WORSE – HEAVIER RAIN MOVING IN.
(PLEASE ‘SHARE’ THE POST – VITAL INFORMATION)
Good afternoon. This is now one of the most severe storms to hit Canterbury & parts of the region continue to be dealt too, with over 150mm recorded in some areas.
Our major concern is Christchurch city, with the ‘Feed zone’ eyeing Christchurch up over the next 6 hours. We could see another staggering 40-50mm in this time frame. Parts of the city are already under water & conditions will only worsen over the next 6 hours. The major concern is the Heathcote River & close surrounds with severe flooding in the area; high tide is around 3:30pm, the worst possible timing.
Keep up to date, with www.cwu.co.nz... – Canterbury’s number one weather provider.
1.03pm: Akaroa Harbour and Little River water supplies are under some stress due to stream intakes being dirty and difficult to treat. Please conserve water until 24 hours after the storm finishes.

Information in from NIWA shows this afternoon's tide was the highest ever recorded at Bridge St. At this stage, we believe the record-breaking level was due to a low pressure weather system coming on top of a spring tide, and heavy rainfall. Although the spring tide and rainfall were expected, the unusually low pressure wasn't forecast. This accounted for 0.4M of the tidal height. Preliminary assessment is that this extreme tide level may be equivalent to a 1/200 year event (a probability of occurring once in every 200 years).
We are keeping a close eye on the high tide due around 3am tomorrow. At this stage we don't expect this to be as high as this afternoon's high tide, but we will post an update at 9pm tonight.
We are due for more rain tomorrow. Contractors will be out over the weekend checking grates and drains so the stormwater network can work effectively.
