In our last weather video of 2011 Philip Duncan looks at where Cyclone Fina current lies and where it is heading (our way – but more as a rain event than a storm at this stage).
We look at Christmas Eve and Christmas Day – and the forecast still looks great but some heavy showers are possible inland – and again we have that risk of localised surface flooding directly under those big shower clouds, as we’ve been seeing this week.
And we take a look at New Years Eve – and what ex-cyclone Fina may look like over the North Island.
Merry Christmas from nzherald.co.nz and WeatherWatch.co.nz – we’ll start our videos again in mid-January. If there’s anything you’d like to see more of/less of in our 2012 videos please send us an email using the Contact button at the top of the page, or post a comment below – your feedback will be really appreciated.

Thank you for all your great updates over the year and glad Fina is not going to be a threat although may put a damper on the New Years Eve outdoor party we’re going to.
Wishing you and your team a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Hi Phil,
Is it possible to write on your site about this report as I suffer from severe hearing loss so watching the video does nothing for me.
I and several thousand others would appreciate it very much.
Thank you & Seasons Greetings to you and all at WW.

Thanks for your up to date weather forecasts…so glad that the cyclone isnt a threat to NZ but the rain is a bit of a downer for New Years Eve! Merry Xmas to the team at WeatherWatch.co.nz and all the best for New Years!
