Its going to rain in Taranaki - surprise, surprise

Charles from Lynmouth - Moturoa

The often exaggerated reports we get these days on weather and other events in my opinion have reached the stage where people are getting turned off. So much of the time the event never happens or is no worse than usual weather patterns. My recommendation is to just view the local weather map. If there is a high coming it will likely be good to reasonable weather and if the isobars are close together and accompanied by a front it is probably going to be windy and wet.

In one case recently we were warned of huge 8 metre waves but the small print said in the Chatham Islands. I appreciate they are trying to help and bad events do happen (often without warning such as our recent tornado) but please a little common sense.
