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.
A number of roads in Opawa have been closed due to tidal flooding. If you are heading home from work, take extra care on the roads and watch your following distances.
You can find the full list of road closures here:

I have been living in Somerfield for 4 1/2 years now and just love the beautiful walks around here! I have met many neighbours who live closeby as well as parents of my son's football mates.
2 1/2 years ago I decided to step up and start my own business. A former teacher with two Master's degree, one in organisational psychology (University of Canterbury), the powerful transformational Strategic Intervention Coaching programme with Tony Robbins, and being a serious meditation practitioner, I wanted to bring all my knowledge and skills to serve others with high quality development programmes for both personal and professional growth.

Hope to connect with you somewhere in the neighbourhood!
Keep safe and warm!
