hey phillip. a significent rain event for cantubury!!! and metservice and their civil defence are being slack. apparently no emergency alerts for them yet? local state of emergency for selwyn yes. but impacts across the region. so not just aucjklands civil defence but their one is useless too. you done a good job with the sub tropical lows/ex cyclone last few weeks Phillip. you were the only one that warned of the ex cyclone tam thunderstorm for auckland. no civil alert for that till 12 hours later. but you pointed out the risk 4 days beforehand. great job. hope those in Canterbury and wellington are ok. April has been wild.

Hi guyโs, love what you are doing so keep up the great work. Just wondered if you could critique a weather snippet that I saw on TVNZ on demand stating that there was a mega storm system due this week โThursday and Fridayโ that would have a quote โmega impact on the whole countryโ .I watched this fear mongering and wondered if you could take a look at it and see what your thoughts were then get back to me. Cheers, Mike from Foxton.

Hi Mike, I donโt even have to watch it to know that is over the top. Media in NZ, thanks to Government agency Niwa in particular, has managed to turn all severe weather into โmajorโ, โmegaโ etc. While it may be very intense/severe for those caught up in it, itโs not a major scale nationwide severe weather event that warrants that sort of language. Words matter, and now NZ news outlets use extreme words for ALL severe weather events so it creates a โBoy who cries Wolfโ syndrome. MetService used to really care about this, but they no longer publicly correct news outlets now that Niwa is taking them over. Hype is the future of Niwa Weather and NZ news media, especially now that news outlets have skeleton staff compared to a decade ago and now very few journalists or editors actually understand why they should be more cynical towards emotive weather headlines and stories. They donโt care if itโs over the top โ which only serves to continue eroding public trust in them and their credibility.
