Hi guys is it possible Nelson might have drought this summer or is it unlikely also what caused the Nelson drought in 2019

WW Forecast Team on 8/12/2025 10:16pm

Hi Jet, drought is possible every summer in NZ, but for now there are no signs of drought for you. Nelson itself is showing signs of drying out, but the region is still in a very good set up. Would need little to no rain for at least 6 weeks to even get closer to that territory.
Cheers
Phil

hey team fun thunderstorms yesterday round auckland. 3 lots of it in my area takanini yesterday!!!! but missed most of the heaviest rain. 26mm for yesterday.

Carla on 4/12/2025 10:15pm

And in Whangarei we had 5mm since Monday! Certainly very hard to forecast.
Thanks for all the good work this year Phil, I hope you have some quiet holiday weeks before we get into cyclone season 🙂
