Hi all,

you might all want to check this link to the 5 day rain forecast for NZ.

http://www.metservice.co...cast/rain-forecast-5-day

Big tropical cyclone tracking thru cook strait then down off the east coast and far below NZ.

You don't see that much.

With the current predictions for weather over the wakatipu i don't know if they will get it right at all. the weather is pretty unpredictable right now. was 17 degrees at 2am, then dropped to 11 at 6am. got up early for some good sunrise photography but ended up watching latest bering sea gold and gold rush episodes instead.

That might shift some sand around on some beaches, with a bit of luck!

Here is a link to a site I find useful use for forecasting. The 7 day MSLP rainfall map is probably the one you want.
