On comments for a Tasman/Nelson rain radar station. I live 19kms from the Hawkes Bay rain radar station which has been in operation for over 15 years and it has not prevent flooding in our area. How does rain radar stop flooding?

With the media being focused (hyped) on the flooding drama another weather event has gone unnoticed.
Yesterday 4th July Hamilton either nearly or did experience its hottest July day on record with some parts of the city reaching 21c. I remember a few years ago when New York reached a record of 18c on a mid-winter day. it made headline news all around the world with a large photo of New Yorkers on the streets in short sleeves.

Very interesting โ and yes 21 degrees in July is extremely mild for Waikato. Sadly the Government forecasters + media focus much more on the hype of a potential thunderstorm than the calm sharing of facts.

1. If tornadoes are meant to be rare in NZ then why we are getting so many of these recently (in fact I have heard in the news at least once for almost every low recently). Also if a tornado is touching down anywhere in NZ, does it mean a โsupercellโ storm has formed as it does in the USA?
2. It hasnโt been too cold recently. When can I next expect some very cold and wintry burst of weather?
3. What does temperature for each hour in the trends graph show, average, lowest or the exact temperature for that particular time e.g. 1:00pm? Same goes for the outlooks and 9-day forecasts.

Hi there.
1. Not every โtornadoโ quoted by the news is actually a tornado. Many are squall winds (or straight line winds) which create similar damage but arenโt actually a tornado. NZโs news media is well known for misuing the term (even Wikipedia mentions it). NZ gets many EF0 and EF1 tornados โ but most hit rural places so arenโt seen or documented.
2. Not sure yet โ nothing on the horizon.
3. Itโs what we expect the conditions to be at that timeโฆ.if it says 17 degrees 1pm Thursday then that is what we are forecasting for that time.
Kind regards
โ WW
