Title: Roads Close due to Flooding Monday 23rd.
Post by: JennyLeez on July 23, 2012, 02:00:50 PM

Flooding has closed State Highway Two through the Karangahake Gorge as heavy rain pounds the North Island.
Authorities are not sure when the road will be reopened and a detour is in place through Kopu and Hikuai.
State Highway 26 has also been closed south of Paeroa due to flooding at Criterion Bridge.
Bay of Plenty motorists are being warned to take extreme care due to surface flooding in the region.

Heavy rain is falling on State Highway 2 between Bruce Rd and the Domain Rd intersection.
The NZ Transport Agency's Bay of Plenty state highway manager, Brett Gliddon, said motorists need to reduce their speed.
In the Coromandel, the Tairua River at Hikuai on State Highway 25 is also being monitored as levels rise however high tide has passed and water levels are not expected to affect the road over the next few hours.

Title: Heavy rain update
Post by: OhauitiWeather on July 23, 2012, 06:45:24 PM

Rain continues to fall over much of the North Island this morning. Some areas are seeing a bit of a break in the rain, but more is on the way.

Heavy rain warnings continue for the Coromandel Peninsula and western Bay of Plenty. Periods of rain are likely to persist for much of today across these areas. The heaviest should fall between now and this evening with rainfall rates approaching 15mm/hr. Government forecaster MetService feels rates to 20mm/hr are possible.

For the rest of the North Island, some heavy rain has already fallen across parts of Waikato, the Central Plateau, East Cape/Gisborne and Hawkes Bay. More heavy rain is likely this morning and this afternoon, but it's not likely to be enough to prompt additional warnings from MetService.

Rain will persist for rest of the NI as well, but heavy rain is not likely.

The far upper regions of the South Island are getting wet this morning as well. The precipitation is very light, but will likely increase as the day wears one. Heavy rain is not exepcted. The rain should move south fron Nelson and Marlborough into northern Canterbury late this afternoon. Light precipitation will then continue into tonight and could reach Christchurch by morning. It will likely not migrate much further south before heading out to sea.

Title: A break in the rain for some
Post by: OhauitiWeather on July 23, 2012, 06:52:52 PM

Northland, Auckland, the Coromandel Peninsula and Waikato are just some of the regions to find themselves with a break in the rain.

For Northland and Auckland, the rain isn't likely to make much of a return. There could be some light showers here and there, but the heavy stuff appears to be over.

The Coromandel Peninsula and Waikato will see rain return this afternoon. Some pockets of heavy rain are possible. Rain is still falling about the Bay of Plenty through to Taranaki along with some areas of heavy rain. Heavy rain warnings remain in place for the Coromandel Peninsula along with the western Bay of Plenty and Gisborne.

WeatherWatch.co.nz Facebook readers have been sharing their rain totals with us. Here are a few:

Jorgie Bear in Kaponga- 40mm in 8 hours
Brendan Pratt in Te Puke- 31.5mm since midnight
Wendy Howard in Kaiwaka- 50.8mm in the past 24 hours
Tiffany Davies in Maxwell- 15mm
Gael Stevens in rural Tauranga- 57mm between 4pm yesterday and 7am this morning
Animated Kidz, Ltd in Hill Park, Manurewa- 20,mm in 24 hours yesterday, 3.6mm so far today

Many thanks to everyone who have shared their rainfall totals with us.

Title: Sunny in Hokitika, mild north of Auckland
Post by: OhauitiWeather on July 23, 2012, 07:00:38 PM

Over the North Island skies are mostly cloudy however temperatures are a bit mild especially north of Auckland where it’s hitting 17 or 18 degrees. It’s currently mostly dry in Northland however a few showers are likely to get going this afternoon, dry for most of Auckland also as I write this article however showers are set to redevelop from the northeast.

The rest of the North Island looks fairly wet with temperatures in the low to mid teens from Waikato through to the Bay of Plenty, then further south only low double figures as high’s are affected by more of a southerly influence.

It’s looking fantastic on the South Island’s West Coast with light winds and sunny skies, a bit of high cloud north of Greymouth. It is currently on 16 in Hokitika with 15 in Westport. The very top of the south around Nelson and the Marlborough Sounds are getting a few showers today however the rest of the island is dry.

Areas of cloud north of Christchurch along the east coast then sunny further south with little to no wind. Temperatures in the low double figures for most this afternoon, high single figures in Central Otago.

Waitakere

Not as much rain as I thought we'd get today - but that doesn't mean it isn't wet here. Stuck on 100% to 99% humidity, everything is damp and horrid, dehumidifier on flat knacker.
So far, 5.6 mm rain recorded, and temperature actually got up to 16.6°C around midday, down to 12.4°C now
