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

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

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 🙂

Hey I just want to say thank you. I’ve been constantly amazed at how accurate modern weather forecasting is. I appreciate the regular updates you make, and I like the way your forecasting is presented here better than other weather apps/pages. Kudos!

Hi Jon, thank you very much for the kind comment. While 100% accuracy is still a thing for well in the future on this planet, it’s uplifting to get a comment like yours. I’m personally always blown away (no pun intended!!) when modelling can pick a storm 2 weeks away when it hasn’t even started to form yet.
Thanks again,
Phil D
