Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dunkin from weather Watch.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
Here you go, mate, I'm very good, Thank you, buddy.
How about yourself?
Speaker 3 (00:04):
Oh look, I'm a little bit of a nut for
certain songs of the nineties, and that one there just
brings back the memories and I don't know if it
does get much better from a key We perspective.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
So no, I'm really good, by the way.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Yeah, excellent, good to hear.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
How's things going in the Big Smoke?
Speaker 2 (00:19):
Oh, not too bad, not too bad. The weathers are
very pleasant at the moment and makes up for all
the windy wetter we've been getting, just like you guys,
although you get it worse than we and that's for sure.
But we've had a lot of windy weather over the
last few weeks, just like you. And it's nice to
see those winds looking like they're going to come to
an end. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
They just look at the forecast for next week. They're
certainly dropping back in velocity and less frequent rain showers
and a little bit of warmth starting to come into it.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
So we'll take that.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah. But basically, what we're seeing is the weather that
drives the Southern Ocean storms and lows. We call it
Sam the southern annular mode right and at the moment
that's in a negative phase. And what that means is
the storms that are down around Antarctica moved closer to
Australia and New Zealand, and therefore the windy westerlies come
(01:05):
in and over US. What's happening over the next two
weeks is that is switching back to neutral and that
means that that windy stuff moves back south of New
Zealand again, so not so much over US now south
and being closest to the southern Ocean means that you
may still get brushed by it, but really it's looking
far less intense and really for the next week ahead,
there may be absolutely no severe weather warnings around New Zealand,
(01:27):
which is such a change from the last two to
three months. They've been almost every single week, if not
multiple times across the week.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
And look, it might be too soon to say too,
but you kind of feel that last week, and we
felt this way in the wet last year as well.
I feel with the end of each end of September
then the end of October, you're kind of like, well,
it's always darkest nearest to dawn, and you kind of
think that the new month is a new dawn, so
hopefully that caps in and we can put some of
the stuff behind us.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah, well, to be honest with you, it is a
little bit like someone's just flicking the switch the first
of November. So like a cold night tonight. You know,
today's not a very warm day to you guys, and
then tonight it's a cold night, could be tonight as
we as you wake up tomorrow morning. Then as we
go through the days ahead, there's a lot more warm
weather coming into the mets. We've got a lot of
northerlies and northwesters, temperatures by Monday getting into the early twenties,
(02:20):
and that could happen two or three days of next week.
But the overnight temperatures still aren't overly flashed, so you
might get some warmer weather again around Monday next week
or the middle of the next week, but still getting
some cold nights in there, particularly tonight tomorrow night, maybe
even again next weekend. So we're not fully done with that.
But as far as rainfall and wind, both of those
(02:41):
are basically just disappearing out of the forecast, and apart
from a couple of showers that are loosely possible. We're
not really seeing much in the way of rain or
wind over the next week ahead.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
And the nights of the nights.
Speaker 3 (02:54):
Seriously, like you, if the days are nice, we can
probably cape with a little bit of not so warm
at night, but we know it's coming too.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
That's right, Yeah, yeah, I mean, and this is fairly
traditional spring weather in the sense of once November arrives,
usually the westerly winds take a bit of a seat.
They're still blowing true at times, but they're nowhere there
as a tense as they were before. In fact, for
a lot of eastern parts of New Zealand, November can
be a very dry month because you don't really have
these big storms coming in we've had over September and October,
(03:26):
so you don't get the rain out of them, and
you've got this kind of westerly that doesn't really go
away and that can really dry out Eastern Yeah, yeah,
can dry out from that kind of setup. So that's
something i'd be looking for as we go through the
next week while. But hopefully you guys are in a
fairly good position to deal with some of those conditions
coming true.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Oh he is hoping definitely got to be and well.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Moist levels in Southend the wetter and average number of
areas or or they're normal, they're normal to wetter than normal.
It's sort of a theme around South End at the moment.
So yeah, it's you're in a good position to deal
with some windy days if they do pop back up again.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Yeah, And it's amazing farmers. They're a tough, hearty breed.
They're all still reasonably happy. It just makes you think gay,
like man, well everything's been thrown at them. They've got
a bit of a smile on the face and there's
a few jokes about things still been thrown around, so
that's good.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah. I feel for you guys. I mean that storm
last week was really significant, and you know, I've seen
all the news updates on it and the damage that
was caused. And I think I said a week ago,
the only positive thing is that have moved through so quickly.
It could have fat there sometimes loads sit there for
PAF a day. That would have been a very different story.
So one sense we're lucky, another sense we're not. I
(04:41):
feel for the people that have been without electricity. My goodness, no, hell,
what do you do with your brain when you can't.
I can hear my dad saying, read a book. But
you know, losing all your internet, losing Netflix, you know,
you losing YouTube, different sort of things. It's been a
tough week.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
In the different world.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
People got busy though, you know, that's right, and that
speeds time up to for them. So all of a sudden,
we're we're a week posts. So yeah, the guys, everyone's
done so well.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
So yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Probably the latest update from the Klouth of District Council
which some of it is good to cover south and
also but if we can just get through this. The
power restoration is ongoing, many remaining areas without power due
to the extensive damage that may and it may take
some time. Is At four pm yesterday POWERNETT reported around
(05:35):
fourteen seventy Otago customers and twenty two hundred South and
customers remain without power. There's been a power trip in
bower Clouth that it's affected properties around Charlotte Street, Centennial
Ave and Lower Rosebank areas in bower Cloth Overnight. Power
Neett are looking into this. The reporting huge games were
made around wade Apeka East today also Hillfort Road and
(05:58):
down into the Catlands.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
How we parper who we parp on.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Saying that to be fair, there will be four cruise
heading to Papa Towie and tar Coper Valley tomorrow. They're
working in these areas today Stoney Creek, falow Burn Hillford
Road at the Clinton End, Main South Road, Old Coach
Roadahna Stoney Creek Old Coach Road to work a Clyde Vale,
whiter Hone Tihoka.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Work will begin in Toko Mouth.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
However, damage is extensive and it's a multi day repair
and these teams will be working over the weekend but
at lower hours. You can report individual outages to PowerNet
via the online form on their website, and if your
neighbors don't have it and you do, feel free to
ring through or get on the internet for them. Please
(06:44):
stay away from down power lines. We know people want
to clean up, but it's still extremely dangerous. We're continuing
to update the list of closed and limited roads that's
on the Cleither District Council website. Please check ahead if
you looking to travel, and teams liaising with power in
it to get the last of the roads. We opened
(07:06):
many a complex due to form power lines. We've confirmed
that Residents on these roads do have alternative access out.
Urban Water is a seven thirty am lawrence is sitting
at sixty percent. Tapanuis low at thirty five percent. Contractors
a block found, a block restrictor in Wayhola and an
(07:28):
airlock in Clyve Vale. Boil water notice remains in place
with the entire district except by Kluther, Milton, Wayhola, Kitana
and Wane Lower. If your water is discolored, do not
drink it. It could be caused by sediment Wowfair. The
hubs continue to operate throughout the district, offering power, Wi Fi, water,
(07:48):
showers and refreshments.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
Check website.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
For your local community group pages parks of safety. They
haven't even had a chance to measure the extent of
the damage, so please just steer clear, treat everything's closed.
Kite Rugby grounds have been accessed, assessed the safe and
they'll be open for the Kai Car Show this weekend,
so there is some light at the end of the tunnel.
(08:14):
Livingstonia Park has been inspect that it has also been
deemed safe to travel open to the at the Tirey
Beach closed Classic, so that will go ahead. Many people
are wanting to bear an unwanted debris. Say with fire safety,
well there isn't a fire being in place. Reservoirs are low,
which means any available water really is is limited, so
(08:38):
we don't want fires getting out of hand. If you
need financial support, get and check it out on the
website and the Mayor Relief Fund clothes Mayor Releif Fund
has been open following a government contribution of fifty thousand
on Monday in an application compritribution of one hundred thousand
(09:00):
from the district Council emergency funds yesterday, so applications are
now open.
Speaker 1 (09:05):
Details are found on the website.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
So, yeah, tough times all around, but certainly in the
Cluther District you're doing all they can so and as
I believe, we're still under a state of emergency as
it goes on, so I do not know when that
will be reassessed.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
But please keep listening to the radio.
