Phil Duncan, CEO of Weather Watch, sheds light on the unyielding rain and gusty winds sweeping across New Zealand, particularly affecting the North Island and the southern parts of the South Island.
Describing the weather as "relentless," Duncan notes that regions like Southland and Otago are bearing the brunt of the southwest flow.
However, he offers a glimmer of hope for October, forecasting a mix of high and low-pressure systems akin to a "chain link fence," potentially leading to clearer days.
Duncan also discusses the possibility of a La Nina event, stating that current models show a neutral outlook.
