I just heard a bit of thunder. There's flooding in parts of the Hutt. Perfect excuse not to leave the house and avoid human contact as much as possible.
Ah, the biannual one in one hundred year Lower Hutt flood. Do you really need an excuse not to leave the house and avoid the denizens of lower hutt?
Well no now you mention it. You're from P town though so stones....glass houses etc
I had coffee with David Cunliffe at Porirua mitre 10 Mega today. Beat that.
Who?

Why does everyone keep saying that?

So just catching up with all the threads I missed while on holiday.
Must admit it was surreal lying in bed in Singapore watching the Northern Motorway under flood .. for a nano-second I actually considered what a shit day all my staff would be having - before heading off to the pool.
Serious flooding here in Albany this morning. Metre deep on the road outside - three hours later you can't even tell it has rained.

Another one on the way. It would appear that NZ is now tropical rather than temperate.
It's all going pretty much the way the climate change scientists said it would. It could be an aberration but I have been recording weather data for years and this isn't good IMO.

and where is said storm aiming? and when? I'm flying in to Auckland tomorrow, and after what appears a sunny hot summer I'll be pissed if the weather is shit all weekend!

@mariner4life Worst will be down South Island on Thursday. Weekend looks good - you might be surprised at just how hot it is, even for Cairns guy.

You haven't been having the changeable weather up there that we've had here? Grey and humid on the weekend, nice and dry and sunny last two days, now we've got about 4 days or rain and low temperatures.

@snowy less sun about but humidity and heat still there.
This was about 5.15 a couple of days ago...
20 litres per 100km?
What are you driving, an F1 car? -
@nepia been a strange summer. Late start to the wet season resulted in some scorching temps over New Years (hottest driest December for yonks apparently). Then it rained a fuck load, cooled everything off, now it's sunny again, and humid as frig.
We are due a really wet Feb apparently, which is good, because we need it. Dam levels have got pretty low (we get heaps of rain, but have nowhere to store it, because, you know, short sighted governments and greenies).

@taniwharugby said in Summer Storm:
@virgil haha wondered who would notice that...was sitting at the lights about 500m up the road from work, so my average fuel consumption in peak traffic whangarei over that distance was that.
I thought my Holden was bad enough, seems to keep it around 10l per 100km
But then I’ve got a heavy foot.. -
@taniwharugby said in Summer Storm:
@virgil mine is usually about 8.0l/100 once I get away form the lights, but about 6.5l/100 when I have to go to the 'big city'
Dargaville?

I just want it to be sunny in my long weekends - it can be wet Mon-Thus if it likes.
I guess you guys are used to the wet season up there. My last few years in Sydney have been sunny as days until about 4-6, then it would bucket down with rain and then be sunny again for an hour or two before the sun went down. This year it's all over the show.

@hooroo No - I'm well inland. Hasn't been that much rain on this side of the Takaka Hill (lots in Golden Bay). It's the howling wind creating storm surge that's causing problems. Just come in from cutting up a tree that fell into the neighbour's driveway.
I'd hate to be living in Monaco (the Nelson version) today, though. Waves going through people's properties.
My ex-neighbours bought there a couple of years back - evidently not believers in climate change!
