Thunderstorm Outlook
Fronts from the Tasman Sea move onto New Zealand today.
Ahead of the fronts, showers are expected about inland areas
of both islands.
For the North Island, the risk of thunderstorms is moderate for
areas in the Hawke's Bay, the east of Taihape, and the east of
Taupo. These thunderstorms are expected to bring heavy rain,
with intensities of 15 to 25 mm/h, and hail. For the central North
Island, there is a low risk of thunderstorms in the afternoon.
For the South Island, there is a moderate risk of thunderstorms
during the afternoon for inland Southland, Fiordland, and the
far south of Otago. These are expected to bring localised heavy
rain, with intensities of 10 to 25 mm/h (possibly more for
Southland), and small hail. There is a moderate risk of severe
thunderstorms bringing downpours with hourly rainfall rates of
25 to 40 mm/h. A lower risk of thunderstorms covers much of
the remaining inland South Island.
On Friday morning, a front move east onto the far north of the
country, likely to be accompanied by bursts of heavy rain.
Severe Weather Outlook
A trough of low pressure is expected to move onto the South
Island on Saturday.
From Sunday to Tuesday, the trough and an unsettled south
to southeast flow affects central parts of Aotearoa, bringing
rain or showers, especially to eastern areas.
At present there is uncertainty with which areas will see the
most rain, and whether the rain will be heavy enough to
require any rain warnings. However, for northern Canterbury
and Marlborough on Monday, there is low confidence for
significant amounts of heavy rain.
Prepared by the NEMA Monitoring, Alerting and Reporting Centre to provide awareness that supports informed decision making.
