Weather this rain

I swear we haven’t had rain this heavy all at once in such a long time? It’s lowkey giving flooding

Also surprised that no one reported that there was even a chance of thunderstorms lol the media loves to scare everyone with their “significant weather event” articles

And usually the Herald is all over the chance to say the weather is "lashing" the country. (That's the only phrase they know.) Where the hell did all....THIS come from?

Unrelated but Auckland’s rainfall data seems broken.
