Nice one Chris!
Amazing graphics and welcome drought busting atmospheric river.
Great presentation
Oh the good old days when we were just allowed to experience whatever weather came and didn't have all this hype and modeling. So much word salad in this presentation it's enough to make you dizzy.
You mean like a storm; liquid water doesn't stay up in the sky only water vapor does. What a load of drivel.
I've never seen it before, the top of the Nelson bays area looks like a kiwi. 🙂
What is the difference between an atmospheric river and a weather bomb and what will be the next new weather term 😂
I was born in the 1950's, so I have seen a lot of weather from severe draught to severe downpours. So stop sensationalizing weather; "atmospheric rivers". The media these days thrive on this type of drama, writing in a way to make us fear or keep us in fear. Look at the "climate change caption" attached to this video. This was done with "COVID" but this has now stopped because of exposure to crap. The weather is weather! Good to know what is coming put don't dramatize it!
It’s called fucken rain
Now do presentation on cloud seeding/weather modification that’s happening worldwide 🤐
Really appreciate your efforts to keep us informed
Loved this video! Lots of people lowkey hating, like you clicked the video, just click off if you aren't enjoying it. The modelling is incredible; how lucky we are the get to see it presented and described to us so well! Thanks Chris!
Atmospheric River? Is that a fancy name for 'rain'. Appears to be a feeble attempt towards alarmism, and makes you look like a Numpty.
Thank you I really love your weather report. At the moment it has stopped raining in Woolston Christchurch 👍
Mate, what about the Naki? Looks pretty serious there too!
Love to watch your videos Chris,,,, very informative, thanks for your heads up!!
Its is Friday North of Auckland Warkworth big rain drop , I advise to keep off the roads and ork from home and get off the road it will be dangerous and apt to be accidents STAY OFF THE ROAD is my advice
First time commenter & viewer ; re the presenters comment about drought – I'm in 100% agreement – my drinking water comes from one of the many spring fed streams , which has run very low , for the first time in over 40 years – 2 springs , have dried out completely , and this is around wellington ; any rain fall , this year has been very quickly absorbed by the soil .
The West (wet) Coast , if I were tramping in the region , all rivers north , from the Nile Rivrr , would be potentialy flooding , right the way up the coast , and anyone on the Heaphy Track , would be advised to stay put , until it's safer to travel . I hope there won't be evacuations in the South Island .
Katia & region , thankfully , the Maungamuka Hills , will help deliver rain around the area , including over the hills around Ngawha , and areas it is needed – I remember summers out on the Karikari Preninsula , which were very warm – sea temperature , you had to get out to at least 6 foot depth for cool water , or hide out in the Manuka Forest to cool off .
4th day in a row , it's started with heavy cloud , and on 2 , it's been intermittent rain , thru the day , though heavily overcast and little wind – unusually .
Do Enjoy your day , folks & stay safe .
Namaste , ❤
All the lines that planes drop, that spread out (in bunches, by circling planes). How does that play in to the weather ? What's it for (I.e. purpose) ? They spread right out, and form a hazy layer… But what's it for ?
Cheers
Atmospheric river is alarmist new main stream media speak. Nice graphics thank you.
Nice graphics and well presented. What software is used? Is it Niwa proprietary?
What’s with the global horizon stranger
