The combination of another warm humid day and light winds are expected to produce thunderstorms about many parts of the North Island this afternoon and evening.

Between about 1pm and 9pm today, a few of the thunderstorms could be severe about inland North Island areas from Northland to Whanganui, Taihape and Hawkes Bay (including Auckland), and also affecting coastal parts of Gisborne and Hawkes Bay.

These thunderstorms are expected to produce localised downpours of 25-40 mm/hr (or more), hail 20mm diameter (or larger), and maybe wind gusts of 60-80km/hr.

Rainfall of this intensity can cause surface and/or flash flooding, especially about low-lying areas such as streams, rivers or narrow valleys, and may also lead to slips.

Driving conditions will also be hazardous with surface flooding and poor visibility in heavy rain.

Raining on Whitianga’s Upgrade Parade

Sorry to be a grinch just before Christmas – but it will be some time before we really know whether this is a worthy well-planned project, or instead an avoidable waste of $6.5 million of ratepayer funds because the area has been flooded from the sea.

Sea Link Makes Sense But Land-Based Marine Services May Flood
TCDC has received a report on the proposed Kopu Landing Site Upgrade. The preferred option is to build a new slipway/pontoon/ wharf, to support an expanded marine service industry for the aquaculture industry in the Firth of Thames.

TCDC has received a report on the proposed Kopu Landing Site Upgrade. The preferred option is to build a new slipway/pontoon/ wharf, to support an expanded marine service industry for the aquaculture industry in the Firth of Thames.

With fragile roading, alternative transport links via the sea make sense. But the expanded onshore marine service industry at Kopu is proposed on low-lying land likely to be flooded from the sea. Once again climate change impacts are ignored. Read More at - teggtalk.wordpress.com...
