You’ll need to check MetService.com for that as NZ doesn’t have open data for us to share that info.

I’m in Whangamata, and this latest weather event in my opinion was equal to if not more than Cyclone Gabriel, certainly there is more flooding, slips etc . My question is although it was rated to be significant by forecasters it didn’t really get the attention it deserved until it was upon us, therefore giving little advance notice. Maybe I missed something or did this event balloon beyond expectations.
