The hydro team have had a few technical challenges this week with some of our telemetry equipment. Things seem to be up and running again now just in time for a couple of weather fronts coming through tonight and again early next week.
EMOs around the North Island have been testing systems and procedures in anticipation of tonights front and duty officers are on alert. Horowhenua have advised a change in mode to level 1 (monitoring). Horizons Emergency Management Duty Officer is of course in mode 1 for all weather warnings received for the region.
The ground is pretty saturated around the region and river systems won't take much to rise quickly. Availability of some key staff was checked prior to the weekend and EOC readiness double checked. So get out your gummies and rain coats folks we could be in for a wet week or so.
The picture is the current map from the MetService but check them out for the most up to date version.
