No single event is an indicator of the arrival of climate change, experts say, but the flooding in Napier is a taste of what's to come. This week Napier experienced its second wettest day in 150 years, and residents are dealing with devastating flooding. The drenching was more concentrated and targeted than expected, despite warnings alerting the region. Metservice meteorologist Lisa Murray said because warmer air could hold more water, these weather systems could pack more of a punch. Singles Events, Napier, Resident, Islands, Pacific

This weekend, 15 Wellington properties were inundated when intense rainfall hit when the tide was high... As Olivia Wannan explains, this type of event will get increasingly common as global temperatures rise. In our warmer world, we’ll see everything from stronger winds and more intense storms to longer dry spells. Although these effects may seem distinct, the real trouble may hit communities when they combine forces. Together, the rising seas and intensifying rainfall are likely to cause...

On the islands of Sāmoa, the effects of climate change are being felt. Tsunamis, cyclones and sea level rise are some of the natural hazards villages like Sa’anapu are having to contend with. This article shows how the local Council of Matai are working together with a scientist and an architect from New Zealand to combine their cultural and scientific knowledge in order to build a safer future for the local people.

The science capability ‘Interpret representations’ encourages students to think about how data is presented, what the representation tells us and how it gets the message across. Visual representations contain literacy and numeracy components that students may need support to understand. In this activity, students observe and interpret graphs from the Ministry for the Environment and Stats NZ’s Our atmosphere and climate 2020 report.

The water cycle is driven by energy from the sun. Liquid water is evaporated and changed into a gas. In this process, energy is absorbed (endothermic). The gaseous vapour rises and circulates in the atmosphere, cools and changes back into a liquid. This process is called condensation and releases energy (exothermic). Tiny droplets of water in the atmosphere accumulate to form clouds, which can return the water to Earth as precipitation, namely rain or snow.

Weather datasets are used as an evidence base for the Environmental Reporting Programme – a joint programme with the Ministry for the Environment and Stats NZ – when reporting on the state of the atmosphere and climate. The programme makes the datasets they use available to the public. This activity provides long-term average annual temperature and annual precipitation data for 30 sites from Kerikeri to Invercargill. It has suggestions on how to use the datasets to view temperature and ... Weather Data, Kerikeri, Invercargill, Dataset, Image Map

Tsunamis and surf introduction - TEACHING RESOURCE. Ocean waves are a powerful force in the lives of New Zealanders. We like to surf them and swim in them – yet we are also vulnerable to the power of ocean waves. In particular, coastal New Zealand is at high risk of inundation by a tsunami.

The earthquake struck on a Wednesday in March at 8:32am, 50 kilometres off the coast of Gisborne near the Hikurangi Trough. Even though it registered magnitude 7.1, it was not widely felt along the coast. The shaking caused no damage. Thirty minutes later, enormous waves rushed in. There was almost no warning. The “silent” tsunami hit 115km of coastline on the East Coast, from Mahia Peninsula to Tokomaru Bay.
