None of the promised rain.
Overcast sky and a light drizzle but none of it seems to be wetting the ground. Could be a figment of our imaginations.
No wind, the Vane is pointing south.

7th rain day in a row.
Very sodden on the east coast now.

Most of the rain has fallen in the upper catchment which is now flowing down the Wairoa River which is now extremely dirt and swollen. The river mouth is open at present so lets hope it stays that way.

Warm temps and high humidity last few days.

Looking at the long lawns and mud one would think it was the middle of winter not early April.

My forecast tells me the rain is back tonight and tomorrow so not a lot of drying out will be done alas.

But I would rather have this than the drought up north is having :(
