1332228	2013-03-11 05:56:00	It can rain as much as it likes from Sunday but pleaze not Saturday. I bet if it does rain the next thing we will see is people complaining about the flooding..	paulw (1826)
1332229	2013-03-11 06:42:00	Weather forecasting more than a day or two in advance is so inaccurate, to all intents and purposes, it might as well be called astrology or magic... So long as they don't use that bullshit term: "weather bomb".....	johcar (6283)
1332230	2013-03-11 07:22:00	Weather forecasting more than a day or two in advance is so inaccurate, to all intents and purposes, it might as well be called astrology or magic . . . So long as they don't use that bullshit term: "weather bomb" . . . . . Or be serious about quoting Ken Ring: Here is a brief summary of what to expect in coming months: February: Sunny and mild . Rain in the first week breaks the dry spell . Around 8th there are chances of heavy rains and floods for the North Island and the West Coast of the South Island . It should be hot and dry in the South Island in the last week . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- March : Wet with heavy rains and floods . The first week may be unsettled for the top of the South Island and for Canterbury, with chances of floods in Blenheim . The second week is the driest week of the month for the South Island . Around 20th expect much rain in both islands . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- April: Warm and wet . Overall for the country it may be wetter than average, with torrential rain for two weeks after 8th in the North Island . Around 28th heavy falls and flooding may affect Bay of Plenty, unsettled also for the top of the South Island and SI West Coast . In the second half of April, possible floods for Coromandel and Wellington and wet at top of the South Island . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- May: Sunny and mild . In the first week there may be the chances of flood in Taranaki . Mid May begins four warm weeks for NZ . In the second half of the month, it goes dry for Canterbury . Around the 26th expect heavy falls and floods in the Central Plateau, Taranaki, SI West Coast and Southland . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- June: Stormy . June, a wet month for NZ, and in the second week snow arrives in both islands but not cold enough to establish a base . Around 23rd expect heavy rains Auckland southwards . It may also be unsettled for the top of the South Island, for Christchurch and S Canterbury, with some possible ensuing flooding . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- July: Cold and snowy . Much widespread snow and rain is expected . Around 22nd heavy rains and flooding are likely from Northland to Central Plateau, also on the SI West Coast and the top of the South Island . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- August: Cold but average precipitation . The first 10 days is fairly average for both islands, but in the second or third week expect heavy rain and snow . Canterbury and S Canterbury have significant rain 12th-15th followed by possible flooding around 19th . Heavy falls flood North Island places except for Gis/HB and the South Island may be very wet for the West Coast and Nelson . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- September : Wet South Island but dry top half of North Island Much precipitation and snow is likely mid-month in both islands . Around 16th big rainfalls and flood potential may cross the North Island except Gis/HB, and the South Island West Coast, the top regions, Canterbury, S Canterbury and coastal Otago . Best time for skiing is around 21st . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- October: Cloudy and wet . In the second week of the month, heavy falls most North Island districts . Significant downpours affect most of South Island 4th-9th . October is chilly, wintry, cloudy and wet for all . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- November: Sunny but cool From 6th-10th , heavy rainfalls likely for South Island, possible flood date 10th . Wetter than average in Auckland and Manawatu, around the top of the South Island and inland Otago . ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- December: dry for North Island and Canterbury in second and third weeks Starts wet, then around 4th, potential for heavy rain with associated flooding for most of North Island, also South Island West Coast, top regions and S Canterbury to Southland . Hot and dry in second and third weeks, rain and floods just before Christmas in South Island and over Xmas in North Island . Christmas Day wet north of Taupo and dry south of Taupo, including most of South Island . Sorry Ken, a dismal fail for this year so far . :( But in fairness, let's see what happens around the Ides of March: Around 20th expect much rain in both islands .	WalOne (4202)
