HUGE
RAIN EVENT FORECAST FOR THE WEST COAST, NEW ZEALAND
Via
Facebook
There’s
going to be some huge rainfall amounts for the west of the South
Island this week. Several weather fronts will be hitting the region
over a period of a few days, which means that the prolonged period of
rain could generate a massive total of 400 to 500 mm (20 inches, ed) in some places
by the weekend, especially about the Southern Western Ranges. The
first place to be hit will be Fiordland, where a heavy rain warning
is already in place for heavy rain from Monday night.
The
heavy rain then kicks in for Westland and Buller on Tuesday night,
with the heaviest falls expected around the ranges. We are also
forecasting heavy rain for the headwaters of the Otago and Canterbury
lakes and rivers south of Arthur’s Pass from Tuesday evening. Heavy
rain over such a long period is likely to cause some rivers to rise
rapidly and make conditions difficult for trampers.

"Barring some major breakthrough that allows excess CO2 to be scrubbed from the air, it is currently an impossibility for us to reach the target of 350 ppm that many consider the threshold of dangerous climate change effects. I expect it will take at least 1,000 years before CO2 drops again below 350 ppm. – Ralph Keeling, director of Scripps CO2 Group"
