Tropical Cyclone Gabrielle is heading toward New Zealand's North Island just two weeks after the area was hit with record flooding.
On January 27th, 240 mm of rain fell in Auckland, the country’s largest city. That marked the most rainfall the city had ever seen in a day, and it was the equivalent of their entire summer’s worth of rain. Now, a new threat is set to bring ferocious winds and devastating rains to Auckland and the North Island. The New Zealand MetService is forecasting that Tropical Cyclone Gabrielle is likely to impact the northern parts of New Zealand on Sunday and continue through Tuesday.
“This rain will cause more slips/landslides, road closures, flight cancellations and possibly damage more homes as we saw in January.” Heavy rain watches have been issued for northern New Zealand starting on Sunday as Tropical Cyclone Gabrielle approaches with the threat of heavy rain and high wind gusts. Another heavy rain watch has also been issued for the Coromandel Peninsula and for Gisborne, where rainfall totals of 200 mm to 400 mm or more are possible.
