This year is shaping up to be the seventh warmest NZ has ever recorded - continuing a clear trend driven by climate change. It would mean that five of the country's top hottest years have all played out since 2013. New Zealand's official temperature record, the Seven Station Series, is currently showing the average temperature to be 0.7C above average for 2020.

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, Meteorologist, Napier, Flood, Resident

Scientists are taking a deeper look at how hard New Zealand will be hit by one of climate change's most frightening calling cards: extreme weather. "Extremes do a lot of damage, often come as a surprise and, in New Zealand at least, we have not paid them as much attention as we should," said Professor Dave Frame, head of Victoria University's Climate Change Research Institute. "Extremes are where New Zealanders are already beginning to feel climate change affect their day to day lives." Calling Cards, Heeler, Extreme Weather, Frightening, Scientists

A report out two days from polling day poses climate change questions for us all. David Williams reports In May last year, Nelson’s City Council declared a climate emergency. It seemed to have good reason. The Nelson-Tasman region declared a state of emergency after being battered by Cyclone Gita in 2018, and, a year later, on Waitangi Day, the Pigeon Valley fire led to another Civil Defence emergency.

Australia experienced more supersized weather-generating fires in the 2019-20 bushfire season than in the previous 30 years, the royal commission into national natural disaster arrangements has heard. Huge thunderstorm-type clouds called pyrocumulonimbus form over fires in particularly hot, dry and dangerous conditions and are capable of generating their own winds and lightning.

The human cost of the climate crisis will hit harder, wider and sooner than previously believed, according to a study that shows a billion people will either be displaced or forced to endure insufferable heat for every additional 1C rise in the global temp. In a worst-case scenario of accelerating emissions, areas currently home to a third of the world’s population will be as hot as the hottest parts of the Sahara within 50 years, the paper warns.

MetService has issued its first ‘Red warning’ following heavy rain in Fiordland that has damaged roads and left tourists stranded. As of 10am Monday, Fiordland had received 350mm of rain, with another 300-450mm possible. State Highway 94 has been closed and hundreds of tourists have been stranded in Milford Sound. The SMC asked experts to comment on the situation and the first use of the Red warning.
