You can find it in your local forecast here at WeatherWatch.co.nz, or via RuralWeather.co.nz. Also rain maps for the big picture: https://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/maps-radars/rain/cumulative-rainfall

Hi Living in Rural west Hastings( Raukawa /Maraekakaho area). Very concerned about the next rain event coming in. What kind of rain fall are we expecting

Hi Sue, check out our RuralWeather site – it updates every hour (so rainfall numbers may move around a little over the days ahead). For now your rainfall doesn’t look too bad: https://www.ruralweather.co.nz/forecasts/Raukawa,%20Hawke's%20Bay . You can also find these graphs in the free WeatherWatch App: https://www.weatherwatch.co.nz/mobile-app
We still haven’t locked in whether rain will soak eastern parts of NZ – or end up mostly out at sea. So keep an eye on those graphs and details as it will help make sense of the news headlines you read elsewhere, which are often a bit alarming. We have a video update today about it, and a further update on Friday to fine tune it.
Cheers
Phil D

Hi, im wanting to take my family on a road trip from Auckland to Northland (kaitaia, cape reinga, hokianga etc)
Was planning on going mid next week for a week (12th onwards) but the weather is looking dicey already…would you recommend putting it off until the week of the 16th?
Normally the weather is lovely and stable this time of year – but it seems nothing about the weather is stable anymore!

Hi Kelly, at this stage some low pressure this coming week (12th+) will bring in some showers, or areas of rain. From the 16th onwards looks better, but there are a few subtropical lows in the mix this month, so it’s a bit hard to do long range accuracy for Northland when this happens. Our next weather video will be on Monday Feb 9th.
Cheers and good luck planning.
