Persistent rain in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, but no wind, which is odd.

Insane amount of rain last night in Wellington, resulting in flash-flooding across the city. Never been more happy about living on a hill (then again, there's been landslides too...) 😬

Still bucketing down in northern Wellington.

Photo looking out over the Seton Nossiter Reserve in northern Wellington. Beyond 50 metres away the view is vague due to the torrential rain.

I don’t know how you’d even begin to try forecasting that. This map (from graphs.gw.govt.nz/envmon/daily...) shows how localised it was. Apparently the mayor said it was 3x the local record rain intensity.

A map showing rainfall intensity across the Wellington region, labelled “1 hour rainfall total (mm) ending 20-04-2026 04:00 (NZST)”. There’s virtually no rain north of central Wellington, and a tiny blob of 75mm+ over the southern suburbs.

This is the first of our posts, which explains why it's raining so much. We'd love it if you can share with any one interested or concerned and follow us to be informed.

The simple answer
The atmosphere is warmer.

Warmer air holds more water.

It is that straightforward.

Changes in the weather can be frightening, and overwhelming to think about, however there are things we can do to adapt. But first up be informed - information is power.

We incorporate cutting edge western science, and mātauranga Maori (Indigenous knowledge) to come up with solutions. We're aware there is a lot of talk around climate change effects. We know we need to start planning and implementing adaptation now!
