Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wrapping the country with our guy from weather Watch, Phil
Duncan fail. You're lucky I don't shoot the messenger on
this show, or you may not survive the slot. You're
telling me there's some more rain coming later this week.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah, Oktay, nice to be back on here with you. Yeah,
it's a double trouble really. You know, we've had one
big low come through end of last week and over
the weekend it fell apart, and now we've got the
second one coming back in almost identical. But no lows,
no storms are ever the same, and so this is
going to affect different parts of the country. But there

(00:35):
is a chance of some heavy rain, especially around the
end of the week. So I run about Thursday going
into Saturday, and then for the North Island going into
Saturday as well. Thursday's probably the day with the biggest rainfall,
and so once again it's the top of the both
main islands, so we're seeing the sort of Nelson Tasman
area looking like they could get anywhere between about eighty

(00:56):
and one hundred and twenty millimeters later this week, which
is from last week, but you know, you have to
remember it's on top of last week now and then
for the North Island they have planned at this stage
looks to be perhaps the most exposed, with at least
one hundred millimeters coming in quite a widespread sort of
area from totong Over to East Cape. So this low
is going to drag down subtropical wind that's a lot

(01:19):
like what we saw last week. And so when you
put the subtropical warmth in and some low pressure, it
allows those clouds to bubble up and bring us those
surprise little squalls or isolated downpours and things. So I
think we've still got to work out what this is
going to do. But yeah, certainly a bit of a
risk of severe weather around Thursday Friday and then eases Saturday.

(01:41):
Not nationwide for that whole time, but just different parts
of the country.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Okay, Phil duncan there you go? Four warned was forearmed
