Battered by rain
CLAIRE HAYNES AND LYNDAL JEFFERIES - Waiheke Marketplace
DOWNPOURThe Met Service does not have a rain gauge on Waiheke Island but a home weather station on Cory Rd recorded 71mm over 12 hours from Wednesday evening. This follows an already wet winter. NIWA senior climate scientist Georgina Griffiths says the Awaroa Valley weatherstation on Waiheke recorded a total of 411.7mm total winter rainfall in 2009 and this increased to 502.9mm in 2010. The 10-year average rainfall total for winter is 409mm. NIWA is predicting a warm wet spring. --------------------
