NZ Met Service radar from today at 9:05 pm. See the rain shadow?! Rain’s coming from the windward side (west) of the mountains over to the dry leeward side. Light Westerly winds, 10 mph max.
Friday, June 6th, 2014 Hokitika, South Island, New Zealand
We’ve had rain, rain, and more rain that began two nights ago. We recorded a high rainfall rate at one point of 67 mm/hr (2.65 in/hr) mid-afternoon yesterday, but there may have been even higher rates overnight. It looks like there may be some dry periods in Hokitika tomorrow morning through mid-afternoon, but we’ll get soaked again Sunday–maybe even more than the last couple days!
